Wednesday July 1, 2010:
Back home after years:

It has been 4 days passed from our arrival. Our flight was so long and irritating. We flew from Beijing via Urumqi to Tehran.
In fact instead of 8 hours, took us 12 hours on board.Urumuqi is the capital on Xingjian anonymous region in China, located on North West of the country.
Anyhow, by the time we arrived was almost 10.30 p.m on Saturday evening. My mum and dad were waiting for while. It was such an unforgettable moment for me after 4 years seeing my parents so happy and excited.
We had spent these couple of days organizing our staff and getting used to living here.Theran weather is so hot nowadays and wearing uniform and scarf make it worse. Pollution is pretty high though.
I have missed home-made cooking and it has been such a pleasant time to eat Iranian dished after a while.Wijbren, loves Iranian food and especially snacks and cookies, such as Sohan, Baglava and Pistachio.

We have been spending some times in parks and some places close by in Sharake-Gharb.Wijbren and I was both been pretty busy to organize some stuff.
I have already booked our trip to Shiraz .I is hopping it works out well and show Wijbern the history or Old Persian Empire, which presumably is part of dignity and pride of all Iranians.
Changing Chinese money and connecting to the internet and get a new mobile line, as all are simple thign is such pain in butt here.

Being far from home in years means you have forgot so many things further more, things have got more complicated or much more annoying in some points.
The funny part is during thee few days I have had few times problems with money and recognizing the correct amount of it, meanwhile we were doing some shopping’s!.
Everything, is so expensive and inflation in Iran is unbelivable.Things are three same value of Euro but payments and incomes are according to Rial (Iranian currency) is great isn’t it!
My Dad wanted to present a suit for Wijb because of our marriage so, we went to Hakupian, which is the most fashionable stylish hand made suits for men design, here.
I am planning to show Wijb some museums in the North of Tehran and possibly we go to the bottom of Alborz Mountain to have a picnic there.
