- Iran"s physics team got one gold and four silvers, standing fourth
from top, after China, Russia, and Romania's teams. 4th place is great
:) In the past, with I think one exception, Iran was lower down between
10th to 20th from the top. China's team of course nailed it, like
always. Russia did great, and I think in the past had reached 3rd to the
top at best. But right now I'm using my memory and it might not be
correct. Plus coffee hasn't kicked in yet.
Romania did great, and I think it was Romania that had the top score for single's last time. But I'm still half asleep and don't feel like
digging into it.
It will take a long time before they publish the full report of the
scores. Could be even a month or so.
- I had mentioned that the newly inaugurated railroad to China is to
have two trains on either sides of Iran's border exchange their
containers and go back. But it turns out that's not what they're doing
now. The train from China, a beautiful new red and black colored train continued its way inside Iran and kept coming in, and Iran's train
continued to China :)
These are "container" trains. No provisions for any interested
passengers yet.
- Fish in Iran's rivers and shores are dying from heat. People just take those that are still moving and call it "fishing" :)
This is happening on north shores with Caspian also. Heat has reduced
the amount of oxygen in the water below a level at which fish cannot
live. For some reason heat is this year unusual across Iran. It reached
50 degrees Celsius in some spots.
