Description of Tehran:


Tehran is the capital of Iran and have a population of over 17 millions.There are few small cities have built in outskirts of Tehran which so many years ago were not like this at all.
There are enormous number of skyscrapers have been built, only in couple of decades, which have made the appearance of city totally different, but have attracted so many people from small counties to the capital city.

I was born in this city and I am fond of living here, but recently when I came back after being away for years from Tehran, I have realized the pollution, heat and traffic is a big issue, which brings hatred of some people staying in, nomore.

Tehran became capital city of Iran in 19th century and afterwards till now have been atrracting so many politicians and businessmen into the city and distircts around.

This city from three parts surrounded by Alborz range which is an avantantage and disadvantge as well.First of all Alborze mountain is pretty high and Tehran is a located in plateau area .Secondly, these mountains are acting like a huge wall against the wind, so that means a lot of pollution stagnantly stay in the air, most of the time.

Theran was famous for its cold, long and snowy winter and hot and dry summer.It has been a while that amount snow has been reduced.Summers are getting hottter and hotter, therefore a lot of Therany people in summer time spend most of their weekends or holiday in the North part of the city on the bottom of moutain besides the rivers and streams.

A couple of weeks ago, I took my husband Wijb over there and he loved it.There are still some nice woods and river and we did some water pipe and nice faty-diet dinner.
In this industiral and cosmopolitan city you can find enurmous number of theaters, cinemas and resturant with national and international cuisins.Number of univerisities and hospital are out of control.
Our new governer has been made enough effort to make the appearance of city greener and has done a great job, surpisingly.
