The heat was intense and dazzling sun was out of the customs on the Iranian port of Bandar e Abbas, Iran's major port since the Iran - Iraq. The formalities were quick and simple and the customs police and cordial. For my two companions Afghan, Haji Bashir and the transition was more laborious, the Afghan immigrant workers from Iran and as with us, they are subject to the same difficulties.
We all agree the bus station, they took the direction of Mashad and Shiraz me. The great progress before the station was filled with a mixed population has the image of the city. The Iranian Bandar have the most diverse backgrounds, some are black faces of Somali women are very beautiful, others are of Arab origin and the oldest women mostly wear masks covering their faces, others have blue eyes or green, some say they are descendants of the Portuguese installed very long on the shores of the Persian Gulf in particular has Hormuz, Bandar other faces of the fars, very dark-skinned and thick body hair. There are also more Afghan square face and high cheekbones with a closer look East.
When we entered the hall station, I was surprised by the roar of cities on behalf of Iran sellers hoping to attract customers. It is fun to watch passengers bewildered and trying to guess what will be their choice. My Afghan friends took care of me find a bus. They then invited to lunch in a covered street behind the station, then they left me with concern.
I went to visit Bandar and a taxi dropped me at an internet cafe or a band of young, jeans and t-shirt Desiel branches offered me a drink, offered me internet and how to surf sites banned in Iran.
I joined the station, the men invited me to drink tea, another older and a little crazy to me talk of Victor Hugo, Jean-Paul Sartre and Brigitte Bardot. Another age of other references, until now I had mostly been right Zidane and Chiraс. He then sings a song English "God is the Greatest." I'm Quite the world with a pen and a keychain offered by a merchant, makes a copy of the Koran on Mary and the test of God is the Greatest. The reception on the shores of Iran was more than warm.

After a night on the boat, so I chained for a long night bus to Shiraz. Two Iranians passionate student of international politics, asked me many questions about the French election campaign they had followed in the newspapers. Their support was total Segolene, representing for them the option most democratic and fairest for the people. They spoke more quietly in their own president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranians kept thinking that some poverty, a people whose main CONCERN is to find work and feed his family cares little freedoms. He believes that he is "crazy" but that Bush is no better, they did not fail to recall that European governments and americians supported Saddam during the Iran-Iraq war that seems to have deeply traumatized
Iranians. I arrived in Shiraz was the dawn of time to rest a bit, then I went to visit the modern town preserves some very beautiful buildings left by the Zand dynasty which had made their capital, beautiful parks, a very lively bazaar and the tomb of the poet Hafez, which is open every night a crowd came to honor him by reciting poems:
"Her long hair was in disarray, her face was hot and covered with dew, her lips smiled, his shirt collar fell slightly apart
she sang a love poem she had a goblet of wine available and it was slightly out of control her beautiful eyes were warlike and her lips expressed regret
She came harmed the past at my bedside at midnight and sat She put his head in my ear and with a gentle voice she said
"Ah, my faithful lover Are you sleepy? U No love at night if a wine that is offered is unfaithful to the love he does not become a worshiper of wine O
Puritans, move away and do not blame the Libertines who drank wine to the dregs since besides love, no gift we have not been made on the first day of the World
The pace of provincial towns resembles life in the south of Europe, after the city falls asleep 13h, then 17h to Top open again and the city is filled with walkers or families come to eat ice cream on the lawns of the city. where life seems sweet and nice.
