ds106 Web Assignments 105 "Google Maps Story"


View Larger Map

Soooooooo here is where I am from, it is Iran, Tehran (the capital city of Iran) in Ariashahr. This is where I used to live and where my home is. There are a lot of historical places in Iran including  Perspolis which was built more than 2000years ago. Also Iran is where Persian Carpets, Persian Cats, Sheesha, Pistachio come from. Also we have four season! So we have WINTER! hahahaha. Most people have the HOT weather image of middle eastern countries but it is actually colder than Japan in winter. We have one of the biggest Ski Pist which is world's 4th biggest mountain around Tehran, so I used to go to ski every weekend. It only takes one hour to go there and it is very cheap as well. This is why a lot of foreigners come to Tehran during winter time to ski! It costs approximately 2000yen per day, including renting everything and the entrance! You are more than welcome!

  2. It is so interesting to see the map streets written in Persian writing!

    I feel you about the cold! When I was in the Middle East it snowed! It's definitely colder than Tokyo. The summer was hot, however.
    I love sheesha, and other things from the Middle East. Do Iranian people speak Arabic dialects or just Persian?
