Iran gets a bad rap. Anyone who's been to the Middle Eastern country or knows someone who has, can tell you that what you know of Iran (primarily from the evening news) portrays a truly distorted view of the land and its people. Imagine if you've never been to the U.S., but only had White House press conferences and episodes of Jerry Springer to paint a mental image. As blogging vacation photos become more commonplace, people are spreading the word that this member of the "axis of evil" has a chic, underappreciated side. Check out this pictorial account of everyday life in the restrictive country, or this jet set traveler's photos of the people and architecture here and here. Just keep an open mind -- remember that it wasn't that long ago that Iran was quite the place to be, and may be again someday soon.
