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
