On the eve of my upcoming morgenlandfahrt, I called Aria hotel in Qum today for reservation. I will arrive 1:30 am on Tuesday next week. The receptionist was very polite, spoke English very well and asked me whether I need a taxi from Imam Khomeini Airport. I told him that I don’t know when I will have passed the immigration, so there is no need for a taxi driver to wait. I will arrive around 4 am. They will receive me, he told me. Motashakaram, khodahafez! Nice call with Iran today.
