You are Lupin the Third's friend, Jigen.
Lupin
wants to go to Iran to steal a famous old statue, but he knows nothing
about Iran! You must teach him about Iran, but he is now in China
stealing some antique Chinese art. You are in Japan. You must write him
a letter.
Write the information on the
graphic organizer first.
After you find all of the information, write a letter to Lupin.

Dear Lupin. Salaam! (This means 'hello' in Persian)
I have gathered some information for you. First of all, after you
get the statue there are many Jewels are in the Merry Bank, so you
should steal them too. The weather is cold in winter so you should
bring warm clothes. There is a 4 and a half hour time difference so you
may be tired when you get there. You should sleep for one day, and then
steal the things the next day.
There are many cheap hotels like the 'Morman' but they are
pretty bad. There are better hotels like the 'Iranshar Hotel' or the
'Draushar' but you don't have much money. You'd better stay at the
cheap hotels until you steal the statue and the jewels.
The money of Iran is called the 'Rial'. One dollar is worth
about 7900 Rial. On a cheap budget, you can live for 15$ a day
including food, but if you stay at expensive hotels, it will cost 100
or 150 dollars a day. You can live nicely after the theft.
Taxi's cost
about 1000 Rials. Telephone taxis are more expensive and comfortable
than the orange government taxis but the government ones are safer.
Busses are cheap too. There are no ATMs, so you can't use credit cards
to get money, so you'd better bring cash. Tipping is not a custom in
Iran so you don't have to worry about that.
Other things are cheap too. Something to drink only costs 500
Rial, a hamburger is about 20000 Rial, and a full dinner costs about
35000 Rial or 400 yen. The water is safe, so you can drink it without
worrying. About food, Kebabs are popular, and rice is the staple food
but you should eat hot dogs because they are cheap and taste good!
There are some things about the culture you should know. Women
wear black and never show their skin. There is no alcohol, and people
fast on Ramadan. The language is Persian and the only people that speak
English work in the hotels so you’d better learn some Persian before
you go. The Qazuin airport is near Teheran. Use this for your escape.
Take a taxi there.
One more thing: There is a rumor that Iran will be attacked by
the U.S. or Israel soon so be careful! Good Luck!
Sincerly,
Jigen
