it’s coffee made out of instant coffee and powdered milk. Iranians think that sh*t is good. It is served out of machines and it tastes horrible. Nestle makes it and they sell it everywhere in Iran. I am sure an aghazadeh owns the distribution in Iran so of course it’s sold everywhere cause he is connected like that! Way to go to impress tourists. Soon you will read have some tea stay away from the instant coffee. In all fairness though, his is nice considering in 21st century we are now having train travel but 5 stars? Apparently in the ME and not exclusive to Iran they hand out stars pretty generously for hospitality but like many other thing coming from that part of the world truth is generously stretched so 5 stars actually equal 2.5!

I wouldn’t go in Iran to find coffee or things I get home but to try what I don’t know yet.

I have lived in Iran, Europe and United States and travelled to other places. Sorry, but I won’t buy your argument on how 5 stars in Iran would be equivalent to 2.5 stars — avg international!

It is not scum, it is the foam of cappuccino that had died within the coffee as time passed. For commercial purposes, they should have taken the picture right after its birth so the foam would have been stayed on the top, white and creamy.

5-star? From the photos both the food and the women are shrink wrapped.

With the look of a re-designed “Bm” Retro car of the 1980ies DB Intercity I find nothing luxury. Serving a lunch is also an old idea. Bit let them be proud maybe the standards are different.

In Italy, too, the Frecciabianca trains are completely overhauled older models. Nothing wrong with that, as long as the level of comfort they offer is good.

How many nowadays DB Intercity cars offer touchscreen monitors, WLAN and IPTV? Oh wait, not even the ultra-modern IC2 does.

Here in US we pay $350 for an hour flight and all they give you is a bag of peanuts. Indeed “Serving a lunch is also an old idea”.

It looks so indian from outside. Y? In school we had to write about a holiday. I wanted to make it epical using perspolis wrote about a trip to Shiraz. Hadnt gone there yet talked about the adventures of train journey that did not exist then. It was a good essay and was praised for creativity since I had not made the journey. This majes it relevant now after decades.

In the picture showing a hostess offering food tray to lady passenger, both parties should be looking at each other with cheerful friendly smiles.These little subtleties make a lot of difference in professional
photography, modeling, promotional advertising, marketing, etc.

Jamshid’s comment does not need any “moderation”. It’s a perfectly
sensible, clear statement. The picture is dull and un-inviting!
(In any case, the word “moderation” is ambiguous.)

In the picture showing the train hostess passing a food tray to a
lady passenger, both persons should be looking at each other with
a cheerful friendly smile. Don’t you agree?
It is the photo composition that needs “moderation”, not my comment!
