Qazvin

Qazvin (/kæzˈvn/; Persian: قزوین, IPA: [ɢæzˈviːn], also Romanized as Qazvīn, Caspin, Qazwin, or Ghazvin) is the largest city and capital of the Province of Qazvin in Iran. Qazvin was an ancient capital in the Persian Empire and nowadays is known as the calligraphy capital of Iran. It is famous for its Baghlava, carpet patterns, poets, political newspaper and pahlavi (Middle Persian) influence on its accent. At the 2011 census, its population was 381,598.

Located in 150 km (93 mi) northwest of Tehran, in the Qazvin Province, it is at an altitude of about 1,800 m (5,900 ft) above sea level. The climate is cold but dry, due to its position south of the rugged Alborz range called KTS Atabakiya.

History

The city was a former capital of the Persian Empire under Safavids. It is a provincial capital today that has been an important cultural center throughout history.

Archeological findings in the Qazvin plain reveal urban agricultural settlements for at least nine millennia. Qazvin geographically connects Tehran, Isfahan, and the Persian Gulf to the Caspian seacoast and Asia Minor, hence its strategic location throughout the ages.

    22 Acacia Avenue

    by: Iron Maiden

    If you're feeling down depressed and lonely,
    I know a place where we can go.
    22 Acacia Avenue, meet a lady we all know.
    So if you're looking for a good time,
    And you're prepared to pay the price.
    Fifteen quid is all she asks for,
    Everybody's got their vice.
    If you're waiting for a long time,
    for the rest to do their piece.
    You can tell her that you know me,
    and you might even get it free.
    So any time you're down the East End,
    don't you hesitate to go,
    You can take my honest word for it,
    she'll teach you more than you can know.
    Charlotte isn't it time you stopped all this mad life.
    Don't you ever think about the bad times.
    Why do you have to live this way.
    Do you enjoy the lay or is it the pay.
    Sometimes when you're strolling down the avenue,
    The way you walk, it makes men think
    of having you.
    When you're walking down the street,
    Everybody stops and turns to stare, at you.
    22, the avenue, that's the place where we all go.
    You will find it's warm inside,
    the red light's burning bright tonight.
    Beat her, mistreat her, do anything that you please.
    Bite her, excite her, make her get down
    on her knees.
    Abuse her, misuse her, she can take all
    that you've got.
    Caress her, molest her, she always does what you want.
    You're running away, don't you know
    what you're doing.
    Can't you see it'll lead you to ruin.
    Charlotte you've taken your life
    and you've thrown it away.
    You believe that because what you're earning,
    Your life's good, don't you know that you're hurting,
    All the people that love you, don't cast them aside.
    All the men that are constantly drooling,
    It's no life for you, stop all that screwing.
    You're packing your bags and you're
