00:00Nestled in the Abbasabad hills and in the middle of roads where people pass to go to work,
00:08you'd never guess you'd find one of the biggest cultural buildings in Tehran.
00:12Welcome back everyone, I'm Shaki Ba and today our destination is Baag-e-Kitab.
00:44Now this was one of the first destinations of the actual building which is the Adults and Teenagers Bookstore.
00:51The unique thing about this place is that they actually translate books from Persian to other
00:58languages. One of the most famous examples is the Tales of Majid which is a very popular series in Iran.
01:13This is a statue from the book I showed in the Adults and Teens section,
01:19which was the Tales of Majid and it has its own statue in the Children's section.
01:34This place has so many, so many cute books with cuter art styles. It has a lot of mascots around.
01:46Then we reach my favorite section which is the Astronomy section. This little nook
01:56in the bookstore has this wall, has a ceiling of stars and over here all these are either
02:06books about astronomy or biology, just science.
02:32I just saw that she's also reading a Daddy Long Legs book and look, I just saw this. Hold on.
02:39I don't know. Daddy Long Legs. And that concludes today's destination in Tehran.
02:46Again, I really hope I did this place justice because this place is massive and a three-minute
02:53clip is not enough to show its entirety. But I hope I can see you all in the next episode.
02:59Goodbye.
03:00There you go.
03:03So
03:03You
