GO, JETSETTER, GO - TEHRAN, IRAN_part II

Today I ate more food than my stretchy pants could handle. I also learned that wearing a Puma zip-up track suit underneath my Islamic approved garb was a bad idea while eating at a restaurant.

Today I also had some good discussions with my family re: Persian typography and design.  Good business ideas and creative endeavours to pursue in the very near future [if only my inspiration can turn into perspiration].

Tomorrow I visit with more family at ISCO [ which stands for something clever ] and hopefully get some writing samples from someone in my family with a knack for Persian penmanship.

Up on deck:

Plans to see an Iranian film at a theatre

Find Iranian design / typography books to buy

Drink a Pomegranate Slushy at a tiny corner window shop called Africa

Visit more family

Eat incredibly delicious food that will make me feel bloated all day

Dance [ while hopefully not bloated ]

Spend some time with my dad and grandmother

Drink Turkish coffee and hear my fortune from my grandmother or aunt [ and in the process learn a thing or two about telling fortunes ]

Take tons of photos and little video snippets

Show off my MacBook Pro to my family [ they really dig iCal and iPhoto so far, After Effects was not appealing as I wiped off all projects prior to coming here for some dumb reason ]

Scoping out the many 2007 BMW models hitting the streets of Tehran [ people pay DOUBLE the price for BMWs here in CASH.  This means a $90,000 7 Series retails here for $180,000.  And there is no such thing as leasing here. Or credit for that matter. Pay in full. Cash ]

Drink tea...

Watch satellite television while thinking of working for Dubai 1 network in, well, Dubai
