bibi, ah, there are really so many. It's very
good, very
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music] It’s so familiar. Ah, it’s fascinating.
[Music] This is
the place where the eighth Imam, Imam Regis, was. So, for
Muslims, it is an incredibly
holy place. I don't know much about it, but I think the
respect
and love for him are
really being conveyed.
That sentiment is so great, and in a
way, it seems to move the heart, so it was a very
meaningful time. It was really, really
good. The people here are so
kind, and there is so much love.
Seeing them always smiling is
really nice. It’s
good.
[Music]
[Music] You know
that place called Khoth? There is a
building here that is very similar to Khoth, one of the three holy sites in Palestine, and the
level of architecture is really high.
Really high. I'm
not that good at it, but looking at it, I thought, "Wow, this is amazing." [
Music] There were so
many
[Music]
nights. [Music]
[Music]
[Music] Since it snows, there is even more of an
atmosphere. Since
this is the holy site, I
came here. It’s really so good. It’s nice.
Of course, when I went to Mecca... It’s
not quite as good as before, but it still gives me a really nice
feeling. It’s
peaceful and so
good. Oh, they’re giving out food here too. It
’s not the Senate, but they’re handing out free food here. Wow, there are
really so
many people.
[Music]
[Music] Wow,
but the meat in this is really substantial. I’ll try it. Mmm. Wow, it’s
really delicious. Wow. Oh, this is the
Imam Regis Bazaar. Oh, I saw this. They
sell things like this, necklaces, Svinis, and things like that, and they sell
candy too. There is so
much candy. I walked for over 30 minutes but couldn't see the end. It’s
huge. Ah, I couldn't capture everything in the video, but if you
give these people a look, they are
really good at helping you. So I
think that’s really nice. Actually, you do
n’t really see that much in Korea. Because if you
match the money, they immediately run away.
[Music]
Say take me on a
treasure. I heard the FA for new
when they S and Dan. Oh, I wish was me every night. When I close my eyes. They said the
Persian dynasty was very large.
Because they owned an incredibly vast territory and a massive kingdom, it was a really
dangerous palace, so decorations like this...
[Music]
I
[Music]
feel that. It seems like everything is made of something like crystal. It feels like
being in a room completely covered in crystal. It gives off a
very special
feeling. It's very
luxurious, and wow, this is truly amazing.
How did they make it this grand? It
feels so magnificent. Being in a place like this makes me feel like
I'm going to be a king, so it's just
so cool.
[Music]
[Music] I
can't explain it with a video. There is just that much of it. Wow, every single one of
these decorations has such incredible
detail. It's
no joke. I really love it. Ah, so I'll
finish this short IR
tri this time, so
short, only 10 days.
I will come
back.
