Arriving to Tehran
By ivanromanov, 12 years ago, translation, In English

I arrived to Iran last night. Almost simultaneously with me two Bayan Programming Contest participants have also arrived to the Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport.

Mr. Sadegh Hajsamadi from Bayan warmly welcomed us: peter50216, kelvin and myself at the airport and hired a taxi which took us directly to the hotel. Thank you, Sadegh!

The hotel arranged by Bayan for the contest is very modern, nice and has a conference room that will fit more than 60 contestants.

I have not met other contestants yet, but I got a chance to visit the Bayan office. Mr. Ali Ghadiri, company's CEO, and Mr. Mostafa Rokooie, the contest manager, have invited me to a very traditional Persian lunch with local specialities. The food was delicious, thanks to Ali and to Mostafa!

Unfortunately, I cannot show you the inside of the office because of the problem statements all over the place and algorithm ideas that are written on whiteboards, but here is at least a competition banner near the entrance that you can see:

And if you feel like starting learning Persian, here is the first word — Bayan:

Thanks for your visting; have a nice time in my country.

Also do not forget to test "_Ghorme-Sabzi_" in your pretests ;) I hope you will accept it; Just order from your hotel as your lunch/dinner.

FYI: "_Ghorme-Sabzi_" is most common delicious food in Iran.
