Today is the last Thursday of November which Means ‘Thanks giving tradition” for Americans.
Why I am mentioning it, is not just because I am fan of this occasion or..!
It is just due to my great experience of this day this year at Xian University.
In brief, I must confess I am lucky this term as last term to have a very understanding and mature students which hardly happen here or even other countries.
I presumably can say in China respect teacher, professors deeply, but when it comes to foreigners is a bit combine with joy and fun and feel a bit much more than expected freedom. No complain when I used to teach as EF school couple of times even kids gave me gifts for “Teachers’ day” and so on, but my adults tries to me very political and say happy blabla bla...
Anyhow I never minded and would receive a card made me happy in matter of at least they appreciate. I remember sometimes my colleagues were pissed off!
But here today owing to an American tradition, which is not related to us as foreigners and all my students know that very well, but by all means they gave me a very warm, nice surprise, a big bunch of flowers, with a nice post card with nicely written in it; moreover, a very beautiful Tibetan or Indian style necklace and bracelet and a great decoration on the black board, which was more than my expectation from them.
The point is I feel here, last term and in this term particularly being wanted so much and others show and express their responsibilities.

November 14
How much travelling is effective, constructive in your life?
What I am sure now is whatever or not dealing with and looking back into our childhood is like curving on a stone and pretty much comes back, illustrated your future life, soon or late we will see the result.
This is pretty hard to judge and claim or make it as a controversial issue for everybody, indeed, but I can say for sure how much effective was for me and my life nowadays.
I was kind of isolated and reserved person when I was a kid. Hardly, I had just few friends around and that was all.
I would prefer to creep inside of my mind and imagine things and create my own games. I was pretty busy with my visual art, as Music and paintings had no sisters or brothers and basically my Mum was the best friend I had.
As the matter of fact, my art activities and creative, solitary games which I was enjoying in my childhood were the best healing for my mind and constructing my mind for future.
It is not comparable with my life nowadays after teenager hood time, at all.
When I finished high school and chose art as major, things widely changed in my life and I was a very talkative, fairly sociable person and discovered how much I do love traveling.
Starting having exhibition and having intensive interview so many times for my art shows and was totally confident and relaxed to make proper touching, speech in front of T.V screen.

Recently, I am tackling a book written by Neil Germen’s. Actually I am not familiar with this writer and I was searching for some nice readable Novels or short stories then out of blue, I stumble in front of his name and searched for more information.
In fact, I chose one of his fition,crime novels which I scalled “Neverwhere”as brief telling story life of common man who lives in London and has an expensive fiancée and a nice apartment and routine dull job, like so many of us!
This story goes so far and has a deep describing society and life style of street people, warriors, crimnals and who ever lives in street and underground in a cover of a fantasy, mystrious tale.
Anyhow, finding a bleeding, half conscious girl on the pavement of one of London’s undergrounds, but ridiculously he finds out his life has totally changed or better to say upside down as nobody knows him anymore.
He loses his girlfriend and his apartment has been sold, or rented to somebody else in mean time helping that girl whom asked him and him reluctantly accepted makes things so much complicated and turn to a super natural phenomenon in fact.
The story goes so nicely and eye –catching and heart touching, some parts are really spine- chilling, and story in a mysterious way describe the London’s underground life style and back streets in a murky way.
It is a great mystery, fantasy novel and well written I couldn’t put it down till I finished it.

Tuesday we managed to contact the photo shop for our ceremony’s pictures.
In fact, we discussed about the picture’s size and the type of album, but unbelievably making a nice album, even without any embellishing stuff, or exclusive things would cost a fortune.
Anyhow it cost us a common, nice style album around 700 Euro, which is a lot, anyhow Hair dresser must be fun though, surprisingly a few places told us we don’t do make up, just we do hair!
Well, Today the weather has been pretty nasty the whole day and I am hopping we can manage tomorrow the time for hair dresser and camera man for Friday, which is our big day, besides we had to get out of bed so early without breakfast go to physician and do our health test process faster.
We would love to take some pictures beside the sea, but it could be a very bad weather, likely.
Actually in this season, we might have some difficulties to find a proper place to take pictures, but I do believe winter has its won beauty. Let’s hope things works on Friday, precisely.
It was actually nice to talk to the receptionist of our ceremony and have a nice cup of tea there.
She was a pretty nice, curious, middle aged woman with understandable English. We went through our story a bit and how we met and things in life, and in mean time I was wondering about her luxurious house which was enormous. I do believe most of jobs related to the government are well paid jobs and stable, steady job.
Another important thing which took us 2 days commute was our pre-nuptial agreement signing it, and then I had to fix our music for wedding, which I chose just 2 Iranian dance music’s so far.
