A large part of the international shipping business is learning about foreign countries. If one deals with a lot of different countries, sometimes all we can learn is the geography, language, and transport system.
When I worked at The Coleman Company, we exported to over 120 different countries. There were times I could barely figure out how to ship to there, let alone take time to learn about the country.
One of the countries we shipped to back then was Iran. Of course, that was before the fall of the Shah.
On today's "Foreign Exchange" program with Daljit Dhaliwal, she interviewed the author of a new book about Iran, "The Ayatollah Begs to Differ" by Hooman Majd. He was born in Iran, but grew up in the U.S., and has been going back to Iran over the last couple of years.
There is a brief 3 minute video (click here and scroll down) which is really worth watching, even if you can't watch the interview.
