...... Roobabeh is not happy with the monthly charge of 2000 Tomans, (about $2.50) that the participants should pay, also she thinks that having a coach only on even days of the week is not enough. Mona 14, the youngest of the crowed will join the exercise group every other week, she thinks it is not fare that his 8 years old brother cannot join her in the park: She said, “Boys over 6 years of age are not allowed in the park, well it is Qom, we shouldn’t expect more than this.”

It is 8 AM now. Everyone enters closed pavilion in the park where they can easily exercise without their Mantua, but moat of them did not took off their Mantua. Seeing them all covered we decided to take some photos; but here the coach got upset and asked us to leave the pavilion.

We wait for them to finish so we can have a talk with the coach; she is about 30: she says, “Before the city hall gets hold of this Boustan we had the exercises with the coach everyday, but now it is only on three days a week. Of course more women are joining us now, but as you can see the pavilion is very small and we have no trainer to teach them how to use the machines. We need more equipment; also there are no lockers for the participant to put their belongings inside.” We finished the interview and went to get some water from the water-cooler; the water was salty and warm.
