Odds and ends

​We were not offered a sniff of the camel hump. Enough there to satisfy the average Chinese tourists. 

At lunch today we were told that a party of 200 was turning up at the same restaurant at Kashan, and so we had to start on ours earlier. We found out when the crowd turned up that it was a funeral lunch, all women dressed in deeper shades of black than ever, and men too were in black. The two genders were separated at the lunch table, men on one side and women on the other.
