If I win a lottery, I will save some of it for traveling with these experts around the world!!!
National geography travel section has several delicious travel programs, like a trip to the heart of Africa or to the far far away land of Antarctica to watch emperor penguins, or 12-day adventure on New Zealand’s South Island (how about that)
But everything has a price, if you can spare $60,000 , get ready for your 24-day trip around the earth in a privet jet :)
I'm following the news from Iran like so many other of my Iranian friends everyday. God knows how proud I am. I am proud of you guys, for your mature act and behavior in response to savageness , darkness and cruelty . I am proud of your sincerity and braveness. Despite all those limitations, how this mature, wise, brave, open minded, aware generation formed? Guys I am so proud of you!!! Democracy can't be given to any nation as a gift. Democracy is a goal to be reached to. every nation has to pass the path to democracy on their own feet. There is no free ride. If we don't feel the necessity of having a freedom of speech/act with our skin, democracy won't come or if it comes easy through outsiders interference it will go easy and won't last. I remember my math teacher back in high school used to say: "If I solve 100 problems for you; you won't learn as much as you solve 1 problem by yourself" My people are solving a hard problem of "how to reach to real democracy" these days. God Bless you All Be safe and sound
I remember two years ago when I came back to Iran, I found out that my niece (Ava) loves Barbie. This time I asked her what she like me to bring to her. I remember the conversation.
-Do you know Hanna Montana, Aunt Hiva? (She asked me)
- No, who is she honey? (I answered and at the same time googled the name)
- She is a singer and actress. Can you buy her latest movie for me please?
- Sure, sure, I’ll bring it to you sweetie!
I bought one of her latest DVD for Ava and also a book of her lyrics and some shirts. Ava is so into her when Hanna is on TV we literally can’t talk to Ava; she simply can’t hear you :).
She is not that interested in Barbies any more. One day I went to her room and noticed there are plenty Barbie girls around.
-Ava! why so many? (I asked her)
- Dad and mom and my friends bought these for me
It seems during last year every person who wanted to gave her a gift found a Barbie girl as the safe option, but apparently it’s not the best choice anymore.
Ava’s Barbies in different sizes and dresses amazed me, I put them all together and took some pictures. Can you find the lucky Barbie boy???
I came back from Iran. So many things that I probably won't talk about, so many images that I would never forget. Iran I went to is not the same country that I left. Something happened, I don't know how long it will take but change is on its way...
Nima and I arrived home late at night, we took a sleep pill and went to bed. Yesterday we tried to rest; had a little shopping , checking e-mails, doing some laundry, yeah we returned to our normal life.
Today I am trying to catch up. I made a note for myself before I left home month ago so that when I came back I knew what I'm supposed to do for the research. It's a big help believe me.
The weather is so nice, around 20 degree It is not like Toronto summer at all. I'll write more about my trip as soon as I catch up a little.
