I just spent a week in Iran and tried to film a bit every day whilst I was there. There was no planning, or editorialising these videos. It's literally filming when I had time, around what I was doing in my very short (and last minute) trip there.

The first video is just a warm-up, given that the only thing I did outside the house on Day 1 was go to the bank lol

There are many more beautiful places to see in Tehran and Iran, so this isn't a tourist guide or anything like that but rather a genuine reflection of what my trip was; a short and sweet - and relatively local trip - that happened to coincide with the Iranian New Year.

I think given this, it is quite a good reflection of "day to day life" in Iran when I visit.

As you will see if you watch all seven videos, Iran doesn't just look like one thing!

Anyway, I hope for those who have always been curious, it might be just a small window in to what Iran, sometimes, looks like.

Also, do subscribe to my youtube channel for more videos, I don't post all my uploads on to the website! You can subscribe by clicking here.

DAY 1: THE MUNDANE THINGS IN LIFE

Hi guys, I tried to film a bit every day on my phone whilst I was in Iran a few weeks ago. I'll be publishing a video every day this week. There was no planning, or editorialising these videos.

DAY 2: NEW YEAR SHOPPING AT THE MALL

I went to my local shopping mall to get some bits for my Iranian New Spread (called a "Sofreh HaftSeen") and met a few buskers and fellow shoppers along the way.

DAY 3: 4SHANBE SURI (BONFIRE NIGHT!)

A bit of Iranian traditional food...and then later that night a very lively and LOUD "Chaharshanbe Suri" - which is the Iranian bonfire night.

DAY 4: THE HOLY CITY OF QOM

I visit Qom, home to a holy shrine and one of the world's leading Shia Islamic Seminaries. **Please subscribe to my youtube channel **Like my facebook page here: http://on.fb.me/2238Ega **Follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/journonargess ** Instagram page: @journonargess ** Check out and subscribe to my website/blog: www.moballeghi.com
