We have to go on shore and in the morning watching the full hejah swimming women of her husband, and bare footed swimming. \R\n\r\n sensitive local customs, we fully agree with swimming clothes, from head to foot, wearing a scarf in the public places. "As I was carrying my camera, to capture our folly, we decidedthe best strategy was to ask some of our black clad sisters,sitting on the shore line watching their husbands and childrenfrolicking in the water, to mind my camera. This was soon achievedand our four new friends gave us instruction about how we shouldapproach our swim. Yes it was OK to take off our shoes and sunvisors and leave them with them. They then demonstrated how weshould tie our head scarves so they would stay on. I intended toswim a black Metallicus top and remove my outer shirt but no thatwas unacceptable and I should button the shirt up to the neck. Theytook the camera and started to photograph this event. Once thehusband returned to shore he took control of the camera, theconsequence of which is there are no pictures of this event." When I bring my camera to capture our stupidity, we determine the best strategy is to ask some of our sisters dressed in black, and sit at the shore to watch their husband and children playing in the water, I am reminded of the my camera. This is soon reached the 4 new friends, we give our, we and our swimming teaching methods. Yes, it is OK to take off shoes, sun visors, and leave them. Then, they demonstrate how we can meet our hood, etc, they will remain. I want to swim in a black Metallicus and remove my jacket, but no, this is unacceptable, I should button shirt to the neck. They took the camera and began filming this event. Once the husband back to shore, his camera control, the consequences are not on the picture of this event. "Kerith and I made our way out, laughing and saying “Can youbelieve this; Here we are fully clothed and swimming in the lovely, warm Caspian Sea "and" Kerith I and our way out, smiled and said: "can you believe this; here we have all the clothes and the lovely, warm Caspian swim," "Our" girl talk "didn ' t last for long once we waded past thegroups of men in the water. They started calling to us and wavingfuriously, indicating, we think, that we were going out too far.What did they think that there were sharks in the Caspian? Anywaybeing culturally sensitive and not wanting to show off in terms ofour swimming capabilities we decided to head back to the shore whenout of nowhere I felt a hand brush past my hip! I did, what anyself respecting female would do; let out a scream. They all laughedand Kerith and I headed in thinking we had probably transgressed ona number of counts: one we were two unattended females comfortableand happy in the sea and two we were out further than all thefellows." Our "girl talk" did not last long, once we were in the water Man Group Ford. They began to ask us, desperately waving, indicate that, in our view, we are going out too far.

I have no any self respecting woman would do, but also yield the scream. They all laughed, Kerith, I think we in the leadership, the number probably go beyond ": 1, we are two unattended women comfort and joy in the sea, the two of us, than all of the researchers. "Our final transgression was walking back to the hotel drippingwet but in full cover and head scarves still on.Moral of the story: when in Rome do as the Romanswould do: onlyswim accompanied by a strong and protective partner and watch outfor sharks, even in the Caspian." Our last sin is walking back to the hotel dripping wet, but comprehensive coverage and scarf still exists. \R\n\r\n the moral is: when in Rome-Roman remains to be done: only swim with a strong partner and the protection of sharks, watch out, even in the Caspian Sea. \R\n\r\n2 comments "8: 09 pm Iran knowledge Author: Sue Slater and watermelon Tea Our hostessesLeaving Ashgabat we drove through a Kopetdag 2000 metre Mountain pass and we thankful that we were not one of thehundreds of lorries that were lined up waiting to make the bordercrossing.Another plus five hours and at least four control points as youmove from one country to the next.
