01-04-07 Tehran Iran: 2314 hrs. Shirin’s friends invited
me to dinner so I went. Cabs are very cheap and easy to find here
so it’s not hard to get around. The food was great and the people
were very interesting and very funny. I can’t describe how insane
the traffic is here. I don’t know how they do it. The lanes
are defined by any space you can squeeze your car into. Drivers frequently
cut other drivers off to make high speed left lane changes, sometimes
the misses are by inches. I have gotten used to it in a way because
it’s rarely not like this on the streets.
