Wednesday March 10, 2010:

It was another active week-day for me.I do really enjoy having some of my students, for instance, my Wednesday classes go really well.I must confess the second class students are a bit lame and slouching into their seats, as Architectures are just god at drawing.
As a matter of fact, I am proud that I could increase their motivation,, even though switch the topics according to their major as much as possible.

Today I could make them active by role playing and organizing an opening of an art gallery. They had to right down the entire activities and scheduliing, prepartions and act out in the class.It did work well!

For some other classes, even I have noticed they love acting and role plays so I have expanded the topics and activities, which were for instance, recite a short story according to few pictures and act out.

How dating and mating running in China:
Yesterday, we decided to take away the food; in meantime we were waiting in the restaurant.
I had noticed a boy and girl were dating .His face was full of big huge pimples looked like moon surface and he was coughing and sneezing all over.
In China they feel embarrassed or it is not tradition to use the tissue when the sneeze, so they make it so natural releases it into the air. At this point we are talking about dating here.I was talking to Wijbren and he had the same opinion too. If he was in my country he could never ever had a dream of having a girl, but her here, such nice naïve girls are always ready for date!.

Well no insult of offence to any nation, but in China, maybe due to high population or what I don’t know exactly, but I see nicer girls in matter of appearance than boys. One thing is good and for sure boys can find somebody even if, they are not that much good looking, but in some other countries they have to face with loneliness.

Entitled, Mob Romance :(I was reading a news in the Guardian bog today, which I refer you too that romance by numbers: Chinese girl's lonely heart advert attracts mob
Girl sought man to charm her in Cyrano de Bergerac style but instead was met by scene reminiscent of Brave heart)
It is about singles day in China and express the way those girls approach and organize tasks for boys and write down the name in the wall, follow up on a certain day when they have done the task they come and shout the girls name .Well, this is the way goes in so many Universities which are the first place girls and boys properly can start dating, which takes few years up to sleep together and have relationship so alike westerns.

Receiving awards is a great feeling.
I assume a lot of us in different occasions have received, achieved prizes and rewards. Attending in national or international ceremonies, receiving certificates or graduation time in high school or university time are all special moments for anybody.

I do remember my first prize; when I learned how to swim well and I just turned to six; it was a great feeling. I do still have the car toy that I have received for my parents.
When I was 10, I started painting and playing violin. After a couple of years, when my art reach to a point proudly appear in public, I realized how flattering is to receive applause, prize or any kinds reward.


In the past, receiving rewards were just belonged to nobles, soldiers and people who have killed enemies of king or queen or defended the country during the war time.
But after, industrial, Cultural Revolution and modernization, social respects and values has changed in different ways.

Nowadays, not just soldiers or nobles due to their heroic actions or defend the frontier and kill the enmies, receive rewards.scientists or writers, directors and artists in fine art or visual art, such as cinema and theater getting particular national or international, such as Nobel prize, Oscar.
In some occesions, if the person has done a great job might receive his/her reward personaly from hand of president or king which calls as a great honor.

Increasing population of senior citizen:

To start with, statics in different many fields show so many changes in 21st century, and one of them is increasing the population of the world; specifically number of senior citizens.
We are aware of population is increasing and there are some logical reasons behind this fact. First of all, if we consider the advance medical system and treatment and compare it with even half century ago, then it will be obvious that how many people from infants till elderies are surviving from fetal, chronic disease which non of them were doable couple of decades ago
.
Personally, since a century ago the penicillin had been discovered, has made enormous difference in medical surgeries and treatments. The diagrams of health from a century ago are rapidly rising up.
Moreover, not just just due to better health care, but also using more nutritious and enjoying regular exercises, are some other elements which are most effective of longer life.

In fact, it is a good and bad news for our globe. The most advantage of increasing age is everybody can enjoy longer life span, seeing longer generations after us and be healthier due to advance medical system, which is all these are personal advantages for people and their families.
On the other hand, even though, older people seem to be healthier than before, but still after retirement age and afterwards they might feel a bit isolated from society and get disappointed of a boring ,dull long life.

In conclusion, I do believe all these are depend on society, health care, family care, and personal perspective of life style that make a long life happy, positive, even active or destructive and dull.

Description of Tehran:


Tehran is the capital of Iran and have a population of over 17 millions.There are few small cities have built in outskirts of Tehran which so many years ago were not like this at all.
There are enormous number of skyscrapers have been built, only in couple of decades, which have made the appearance of city totally different, but have attracted so many people from small counties to the capital city.

I was born in this city and I am fond of living here, but recently when I came back after being away for years from Tehran, I have realized the pollution, heat and traffic is a big issue, which brings hatred of some people staying in, nomore.

Tehran became capital city of Iran in 19th century and afterwards till now have been atrracting so many politicians and businessmen into the city and distircts around.

This city from three parts surrounded by Alborz range which is an avantantage and disadvantge as well.First of all Alborze mountain is pretty high and Tehran is a located in plateau area .Secondly, these mountains are acting like a huge wall against the wind, so that means a lot of pollution stagnantly stay in the air, most of the time.

Theran was famous for its cold, long and snowy winter and hot and dry summer.It has been a while that amount snow has been reduced.Summers are getting hottter and hotter, therefore a lot of Therany people in summer time spend most of their weekends or holiday in the North part of the city on the bottom of moutain besides the rivers and streams.

A couple of weeks ago, I took my husband Wijb over there and he loved it.There are still some nice woods and river and we did some water pipe and nice faty-diet dinner.
In this industiral and cosmopolitan city you can find enurmous number of theaters, cinemas and resturant with national and international cuisins.Number of univerisities and hospital are out of control.
Our new governer has been made enough effort to make the appearance of city greener and has done a great job, surpisingly.

Trip to Shiraz July 2010

Trip to Shiraz 2010-07-20

After Wijb stayed for a week in Tehran, then we decided to go on a trip to Shiraz.
I wanted to show part of Iranian culture and Old Persian Empire to Wijb to have something nice and cultural in his mind from Iran, on his first impression.

I thought the best way for me and Wijb is to be on tour, so I have got tickets for Wednesday 9th to 16th July.
Starting at 5 am on Wednesday and got to the airport and after a long trip with one our delay arrived to Shiraz airport. Our tour leader had made a great effort to find everybody and put us all together in a mini-van going toward the hotel.
On the way to the hotel, we passed from two big historical parks with history of couple of hundred years.
Shiraz is famous for beauty of its parks; poem and poetry. Summers are not the best season to visit, but during autumn and spring all streets are full of orange trees and aromas spread all over of the town.
Anyhow, our hotel was a four star located in center of the city but far away from traffic. The good part was around hotel we could find couple of local restaurant which was a chance for Wijb to try out local cuisines as well. We got some kind of soup and some Kebabs cooked in a traditional way.
In three and half day we stayed there. We visited Saadi and Hafez tombs that both are among the most famous from 6th century, in Iranian literature; their poems have been translated into so many languages in the world.
There are few castles inside the city left which worth watching.
The most spectacular place which has artists, historical background ad unfortunately partly left is Persepolis and Pasakard, both defined as world heritage and are symbol of old Persian empire.
These two places are 60 km far from city and it took us an hour to get there. It was pity that heat was annoying, but listening to the historical histories and knowing more about cultural heritance was great though.
