Look what I got in my email

This was sitting in my inbox today:

"how are you?. i hope you are doing well!. did you get your visa to come to Iran?. i hope you are doing well. regards, Hassan"

I really want to go! Getting a visa seems to be a difficult process because it takes three weeks for the consulate to issue one. Also, my budget is much better suited for cheap Southeast Asian countries. Something inside of me does not want to give up on this Iran thing though.... We'll see what happens in the next few weeks.
