Night Train From Tehran To Shiraz, Iran

I am not very good at pretending, but, this was my second day in Tehran and I really do not enjoy big cities, just wanted to get away to the countryside.
MY trip to Iran was originally going to be one week, then I was going to go north; Azerbaijan, Russia via Dagestan and Chechnya, and then east to Astana and Almaty, and Bishkek, etc.
So, I just went to the train station and got me a ticket for the night train to Shiraz, once a place where the vine of the same name was produced. Wine country, long ago.
In the evening I boarded my train and my compartment mates were cool; a father and his daughter, and a business fella, and me.
I got me a sim card for Iran Iran Cell, good service. And got me a couple of VPN, so I can get into facebook, Instagram, etc etc. This place has a regime that doesn't like you to go web surfing freely ... as we go, the service is great and the attention the same; great. And well, boredom sits and I start playing with my phone, and suddenly I thought; "mmmmh! wonder if I can get my station in Pandora???" .... and I touch it and it starts playing A Perfect Circle, loud! And suddenly, all my roomates jump out, screaming! and leave the compartment running! Noooo! Noooo! They were saying. No what??? Hahahaha! There was my sensitivity. "Western music is demonized here! It is punishable by the sharia police!" the business man tells me. Oh, I see. I turned my music off.
The next one was even funnier; I open my backpack and pull out a mini from my Air France flight into Tehran; Cognac. The businessman smell it, and look down to what I have on my hand, after my first sip..... Oh! That is against the law also! Nooo! put it away!
Did not know, it was my first of the three islamic republic to visit and did not know they would be a penalty or jail for listening to music of drinking booze......
Obviously, I had more booze with me, from then on, I was just discrete, that's all.
