Thank you Brad! I hope you do have an opportunity to travel the Middle East in the future - we history majors never forget our passions;-) - and listen to your sexy nostalgic songs!
It brings me much happiness to hear how much you enjoyed my blogs, haha you're not a terrible person, it was part of your research after all!
I don't know if locals have heard of Rod, but I was surprised by their polyphonic ringtones ranging from 'Careless Whisper' to Elvis. I can't stop laughing to imagine them sing such tunes with their exotic Persian accents...it may turn out hot, never know.
Take care;-) xxxYJ
Butt Time Hey I thought *someone was going to butt naked! What a controversial title, with no delivery. Fortunately the pictures and blog delivered, and made up for lack of nudity we all crave and love. nice post, Short and Sweet!
Samurai warrior type in Iran Hey Mohammed, thanks for your post!;) returning from my 2nd trip at last, i've been learning more about Persian history - indeed, i think your thought is correct. after all, the chrysanthemum emblem of the japanese imperial family came from Persia too I heard!
Would love to check out an image of the Persian relief...if u happen to remember any details, I'd really appreciate it!
Historu of language hey, your blog is great. since i have done a lot of research in Iranian history, i came accross a very wierd image (statue carved in a mountain) of an ancient persian king who was dressed for war. his cloth and armor were exactly the ones you see in a samuraii movie. there is samuraii hat on his head and a sun and moon right above it. the armor is also samuraii like. i was amazed. perhaps because iran was the strongest nation in those times, some effect has been taken to japan.
Great writing! Yuki, I loved reading your first Iran blog. Your English writing style is splendid as are your observations. I like your attitute and curiosity as well. Keep on writing and keep us informed about where to read you.
Cheers!
Into Space, Out of Time Love this post! I like the pictures of the food. Maybe I can write a line like the other guy who gives you comments... "you so pretty, I love seeing your face, brilliant food pic my favorite you are beautiful I luv you.." ha! ok maybe I offended someone? Have fun going back to Iran this weekend and be safe!! :)
so impressed I'm so inspired by your trip to Iran. I'm also a college student in the US (with an American passport, sadly) and I've been dying to go to Iran, but as a young Jewish girl my parents are not too excited about that. I hope I'll get an opportunity to go someday, and I'm in awe that you got to go and made that happen for yourself. Your blogs are so entertaining. They've really gotten me dreaming after Iran again.
what hey,i wanna ask you a question,considering that you having such a ability,have you ever thought of to be PM(premier) of Japan,that will a great shock to the world,the first female japanese premier,isn't it?I deeply believe you have such talent!!!
Motesha'keram(^o^)! Iran keshvar e jalebi hast! Writing wouldnt be so fun if it weren't for the inspiring sights and experience I had. Thank you for reading my blog!
