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.

For those of you interested in Lebanese food, there is this Shawarma place I recommend called BiBi. It's right across from the main entrance of Mellat Park. The food is superb, the atmosphere is pleasant, and if you are looking for a chance to hook up with foreigners or Iranians residing abroad, there is a good chance you will meet them there. In fact, we had dinner there last night the two of us and Damien. There was a couple sitting two tables away from ours who were speaking Persian, but when they heard us speak English, they turned to (sucky) English! And then, there was this oldish guy sitting next to us who could hear us speak. He suddenly interrupted us to ask a few questions. In English! He was definitely not the nicest guy you will meet, but still, it was cool speaking English to someone who'd lived the most of his life in America. I bet he was pretty surprised to find out we'd learned English in Iran! God we rock! Damien was pretty upset last night and I have to admit, if I were in his shoes, I wouldn't be feeling any better. He'd just been through what he called "the worst day of his year". I'm not gonna violate his privacy and give any details, but for one thing, he broke his iPhone! I haven't spoken to him today and don't know if it's healed (!) or not. But I'm so hoping he can get his neat gadget back ASAP.

Something about today's picture; I got it off Google Images. It shows a guy who's just broken his iPhone. You are not alone Damien! I hope this helps!

Ham Z and I had quite a day! We had some fast food at a place in the west of Tehran and we spent the rest of the day waiting in line to take gas! We just realized that waiting in line to take gas was a great entertainment in Tehran! We got to have a good chat and listen to all sorts of songs by just "waiting in line"! Besides, the sense of "achievement" you get after having filled the tank is so worth the wait! Viva Iran!
