Anali Mark Twain amene ananenapo kuti: “Musalole kuti sukulu ikulepheretseni kupeza maphunziro abwino. Chabwino, sindinaphunzitsidwe ndi wina aliyense koma boma ndi anthu a komwe ndikupita kumene ndimakonda kwambiri: Iran.
Ndili pamsonkhano woyamba wapachaka wa Iranian Tour Operators, womwe unachitika pa Novembara 24 mpaka 27 ku Tehran Iran, ndidatseguka maso anga kuwona chitsanzo chabwino kwambiri cha zoyesayesa za boma ndi kuchereza alendo kwachilengedwe kwa anthu, onse akugwira ntchito limodzi mogwirizana kulimbikitsa kukambirana pakati pa zitukuko kupyolera mu kumvetsetsa chikhalidwe ndi kulankhulana.
Anthu aku Iran ali m'gulu la anthu olemekezeka, ochezeka komanso aulemu padziko lapansi. Kupyolera m’zochita zawo, iwo asonyeza chikhumbo chachikulu chakuti amvedwe. Podutsa ku Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz ndi Kish Island monga America, ndizodziwikiratu kwa ine kuti Iran ndi dziko laubwenzi, lokonda mtendere komanso malo olekerera ndi kumvetsetsa. Izi za Iran, limodzi ndi mbiri yakale kwambiri padziko lapansi, komanso nyengo zinayi zoyendera, zimapangitsa Iran kukhala yofunika pamndandanda wapaulendo aliyense.
Nditayendera Iran kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri ndikukhala awiri otsiriza ndekha ku Tehran, ndinapeza kuti Iran ndi dziko lonyada ndi mbiri yake komanso lofunitsitsa kuti limvetsetsedwe komanso kutenga nawo mbali pa dziko lapansi. Pali nkhani ina yapaulendo wanga wopita ku Iran yomwe ndimafuna kugawana nawo. Pamene ndinali kuchitiridwa zinthu modabwitsa ndi akuluakulu a boma ndi anthu kulikonse kumene ndinapita ku Iran, ndinasangalala kuyamba kukambitsirana ndi mwamuna wazaka 20 wa ku Tehran. Pambuyo pokambirana ndikuchita khama londilandira kumudzi kwawo adandifunsa funso lolunjika bwino lomwe lidandidzidzimutsa. “Kodi ukuganiza kuti ndine wachigawenga?” anafunsa.
Ndinadabwa kwambiri ndi funso loona mtima komanso lochokera pansi pamtima ndipo yankho langa lokha linali "Zowona, ayi". Kwa masiku anayi otsatira, ndinathera nthaŵi yanga yonse yaulere pamodzi ndi mwamuna ameneyu. Usiku watha, adanditengera ku malo ena okongola kwambiri omwe ndidawawonapo otchedwa Jamshid Davallu Park yomwe ili m'munsi mwa Phiri la Kolakchal m'boma la Niavaran ku Tehran. Ndidakhala usiku wanga womaliza m'malo ena odyera azikhalidwe zamapaki ndikudya zakudya zaku Persian nditakhala pamakalape achikhalidwe cha ku Perisiya ndikusuta hookah yachikhalidwe yaku Persia, ndi mnzanga watsopano waku Iran. Anthu aku America amatha kuphunzira zambiri kuchokera kwa anthu aku Iran, makamaka pankhani ya kuwona mtima, kuchereza alendo, kumvetsetsa komanso kulumikizana.
Kuti tipeze chidziwitso chothandiza ku Iran ndi anthu aku Iran, komanso momwe dziko la Perisiya likuyendera, ndikuwerenga kuti "The Ayatollah Begs to Differ" lolemba Hooman Majd (www.hoomanmajd.com).
