Things after Iran trip

1) May be I will be back in Iran as soon as a week. I prefer another month. (It will be after Raya after confirmation with the suppliers)
2) I need to write down a lot of things for lots of jobs. Checking gmails and yahoo account sometimes makes me sick because jobs back in Malaysia, Vietnam and Kit countries is coming to me. I try to forget every other thing when I in Iran but I need to follow up other jobs too. PPE is coming and bonus will be at the end of this month.
3) I started fasting this year in Iran. Could not wake up for sahur for the first day. (Continue this activity in Dubai and Malaysia.) Tehran and Dubai have similar time for starting time for sahur and iftar(break the fast). They are ahead of us for an hour. For instance, in Malaysia it was 7:00pm for iftar while in Tehran and Dubai, it was 6:00pm with some tolerance. I saw people in Tehran smoking on the streets and in the cars. I was shocking things to me.
4) I bought back honey, pistachios, sweets, Bam date (wet type- the best date I think). My partner Mr. Akram was busy buying Gaz - sweet with nugget shape. ( I understand all Gaz is from Isfahan)
5) Pistachios during this time period is very special one in Tehran. I saw on a truck load was red in color and it was a wet type. Only in Tehran we can find this special edition of pistachios. I did not follow up with Mr. Ali Reza to buy.
6) Mr. Ali came from the 2 hours border from Azarbaijan and he talks alot about the yellow melon type from his home town. He remembers that during his visit to Malaysia couple of months ago his other friends was surprise to see the yellow watermelon! Tehran watermelon alwasy red in color.
7) Our project leader, Mr. Hatta (hailed from Kuala Kangsar) was so fortunate to visit Shiraz. This was due to some PWB suppliers was located at this city. Darius the great stationed here and the structure of ancient kingdom was so big and captivating people who visit this place. I met with couple of Hong Kong and Japanese tourist wanted to go to Shiraz back in the airport arrival back then. I cannot write down so much about Shiraz here but Tok Wi and I had a good discussions in this matter. Place of 1000 halls?? I already downloaded some great pictures taken by Mr. Hatta but my Vaio crashed last month. Need to remind myself to do this activity again!
8) I was really freak out about the Shiah things. I cannot write down what I saw back then. There were pictures of the prophate and Imam Ali. Lots of banners. I was always in conversation with Mr. Ali on this subject.
9) Last time, Homa hotel provide free internet service at their outlet near the restauran but not in the rooms. But this time, it was the other way round. I try to register some service in the net but cannot because I was accessing from Iran ( banned by the US)
10) I cannot see why US need to attack Iran because there was so many US interest like Coke and Pepsi reign supreme here!
11) I wish I can ski in Iran in my next visit. I really miss skiing!
12) I talk with Mr. Ali endlessly on the food subject. Luckily, he also came to Malaysia for 3 times now and we can compare and share our knowledges. I have been to Jeddah(2X), Madinah(1X) and Mecca(2X)-umrah too, Dubai(7X) and now Tehran(4X)I am expanding my knowledge on Middle East or Middle earth?
13) I stayed in Dubai for nearly 12 hours and I visit Hard Rock Cafe(bought a 85Dirham T-shirt), Burj Arab(the famous hotel), Jumeirah hotel and Beach. Soo many westerners lingering around. Settle down in Deira City Center for Iftar - eat a hefty load of food in Burger King. Get another one in Mc Donalds in Dubai Airport. Airport was busy during the graveyard shift. My partner, Mr. Akram got some sleep but I didn't. I had this fear of missing the plane. Got into B777-200 at 3:15am and watch The longest Yard (damn good movie- I love Adam Sandler from his Saturday nite daze), Bewitched (sleeping 1/3 way through) and Mr. and Mrs. Smith (could not finish this movie). Arrived in KLIA at 2:10pm and went home with loads of Beznet, Rear Covers and other stuff. We were over the limit by 10kg again and need to pay USD100 in Tehran airport. Get some shower and relex for an hour. Then went to the office and report to my boss. Arrive home just 5 minutes after iftar.
14) I brought along my PS2 and I finished Dynasty 3: Extreme warriors. (Game from The romance of 3 kingdoms). The hotel TV brand was PARS (Grundig). the inlet was using scart type and the hotel cannot provide me with our normal AV jack. I brough back with me Shahab 14" and the hotel staff looks like pissed off with my action. I just don't give a damn. I had a crash course on Metal Gear Solid 3: Snakeeye with Mr. Akram. There were many PS2 lovers in Sony. What can I say!
15) Mineral water was soo cheap 1.5 literin Iran (just Rial 2500 - ) You just check it out (USD1 = Rial 9000)
See ya! Don't wanna be ya!
