It's been the best Norooz so far! Even though we're staying in Tehran, we're getting the most out of it. We have been going to Chitgar park almost everyday. We went biking, jogging and today, camping! They got new bikes there by the way! We also went to Azadi movie theater twice this week. It's awesome! It's in seven floors and it's got two cafés and a lot of space that's gonna develop into supermarkets and stores. This is a picture I took inside of it. The English movie screening there is "Children of Men". Both me and Sara liked it very much. I don't know how to insert more than one picture in one entry, so I added one of today's pictures to one of my old entries that didn't have a picture! Peace!

I just got the most painful shot ever! The doctor wouldn't prescribe penicillin cause it f****** killed someone years ago! Instead, had me get these huge long shots never would I take another in my ***!

I'm so HOT! :D Me and Sara both got the flu and we've been having really high temperatures over the past couple of days. It's like the worst flu I've had in years. We're taking pills and eating chicken garlic soup and boiled turnips! We might go to a clinic if we see we CAN!

Just to cath up on what's been going on, we had a great day at Chitgar park last Friday with all of our friends where we played soccer and basketball. They wouldn't rent out bikes though, cause of the mourning! Which is pretty odd to me by the way. Last night, we were invited to my cousin's engagement party. It was the worst ever. I was so sick and the party was so long and boring. So boring! Everybody spoke "boring" to each other, cause apparently, being excited and positive is considered immature in our culture! To top it off, they served dinner around midnight! Today is the parliament elections day. I was hoping to vote, but I'm not sure I can. Now, this is definately my saddest blog entry!

It's getting warm and summery. I've never liked the warmer half of the year, but I've decided to do what it takes to enjoy it this year. It's no use feeling down half the year!

We went to our favorite shawarma place (BiBi) again last night and guess who we ran into. The same Iranian-American guy we met the other night. It was such a coincidence. I went up to him and asked him if he wanted to join us and he said he'd appreciate it. So, he sat with us and we had a good talk. His name is originally Kamran, but then he's changed it to Cameron. He's a businessman and apparently makes a lot of money. He left us his business card and we said we'd leave him our contact information, so he gives us a call next time he's around.

We had a small gathering in our apartment last Friday. Hamed Y came with his bro and Safaneh with her friend, Farzaneh. We had breakfast, watched Friends, played poker and then watched the Oscars repeated on Dubai One. It was pretty cool.

Today, I was so free. I spent the entire day with Hamed Slasher. We went to Highland and tested different colognes just for the fun of it. By the time we left the store, we had some forty testing cards in our hands all with labels and prices written on them. I got to choose a favorite cologne, Ambré! I'm in Hamed's room right now and am writing this blog on his Ferrari laptop which is wirelessly connected to the net. Everyone around me is getting this technology and I feel so left behind.
