then the above would surely fit the bill.


For those who have been, how does Iran compare with the above three
destinations?

Try Taiwan , or at least Taipei , it will takes you 3 - 4 days to know about Taipei another 2 -3 days to Hualian ( east coast of Tawian island ) , I will be free for helping you to book for the hotel & trasnportation , translation ..... Don't misunderstanding me as I'm not a travel agency , I'm just a career woman who love travelling.

The hotel I recommend www.lido.com.tw , rate usd85 /day inclusive tax & breakfast , locate in the heard of Taipei.

From Taipei, you may consider to take JET START airline to Singapore , cost very little one way only AUD 119 ( for reference )

I'm Australian. I generally travel alone.

I like mid-level comfort: 3 stars, taxis, some Western food, some local.
Touristy stuff and some relaxation around the pool. $AUD120 ($US95) per day
after airfares and transfers is the normal budget.

I have enjoyed travelling in Thailand, India, Vietnam and The Philippines
because they are exotic and alive and fascinating and, most importantly,
cheap enough to allow me to experience, for weeks at a time, a couple of
times a year, a level of comfort I could not afford in Europe or North
America, or even here in Australia. Cambodia is coming up soon, but I am
already thinking about the trip after that .

Indonesia and Malaysia are obvious targets. A return to the Philippines
looks good. I'd go back to Thailand any time, but that's getting a bit
predictable.

Laos? Sri Lanka? Burma?

My dentist suggested Cuba (yes, I know that's not in Asia, but I'm throwing
this open).

I have been to Iran...when I crossed the border and arrived in Turkey, it
was one of the most liberating experiences of my life.

Iran does have some things to offer, but for someone on limited time going
on 'holiday', anybody would say that any of the 3 places you referred to
would be a better destination.

Iran is hard work, not a holiday.
