Blogging tourism: Let's start it with Iran in June
This is really good news: BBC Persian reports that Iran now issues transit seven-day Visas for foreigners in Tehran international airports.
It's really a smart decision which I think should've made immediately after Bush labeled Iran as part of Axis of Evil. Let the world see if Iran is really evil or it's on its way toward a more democratic and open society despite all internal conflicts and problems.
I had long though about encouraging bloggers around the world to visit Iran. Now this is the best chance. Especially after Dave Winer's idea about blogging global tours which is amazing. Simply because blogs can observe and reports things that mainstream media could never do and the voice that bloggers would give, for instance, to the people of Iran is absolutely incomparable to anything else.
Now I'm more confident about the idea of going back to Iran in early June before the election. Would anyone be joining me?
