Iran
isn’t exactly known as a beacon of open societies.
Islamic law is strictly enforced in the
country. We (Westerners) often read up on and then practice great caution when
traveling to such regions as it is, culturally, a world away from the life we
live here.
They used to legislate what makeup women could
wear. The TV networks are controlled by the government, and there is no
satellite TV permitted.
So it is a bit surprising to learn that Iran
has the highest rate of nose jobs in the world.
I would have assumed my home country (U.S.)
owned such a title. But — via Hollywood — we are part of the reason for it.
1 in 700 Iranians gets a nose job:
It’s
an interesting statistic nonetheless:
Most
of the nose jobs are from the children of the wealthy elite in Tehran. And it
isn’t just women. Many men do as well.
And lastly, the most surprising law in Iran?
They permit sex changes. And actually have the second most
sex changes in the world, second only to Thailand.
