I like tattoos but I never got one. Because when i saw them on old people, they became blue and ugly and I dont want sth like that! So I prefer those temporary stickers!

I was about 6 years old when I found honey bee whilst walking home from school. It couldn't fly, so I picked it up and cupped it in both my hands. It didn't sting me or try to get away. I thought about taking it home to look after, but then realised that it would never be able to fly or return to i...

when I was a kid, my cousin and I used to play with bees and worms. Made the bees to sting worms, so they would swell. Well now i think it was a mean game! :lol: melika969! I'm shocked, and there was BM thinking you were a sweet girl! LOL!! I hope you've got your tin hat on mel as I can only imagin...

I don't like the feeling of nostalgia. So I try my best not to regret anythig. I think in our Eastern countries it is very common to be nostalgic, i dont know why...

Ummm I don't know what's goin on here, but thank you MCL and Sym for your nice words about persians!

^^^has nice things to say about persians^^^:)

Iranian? you keep jumping between the two houses Symm, which is it, Iranian or Persian, Iran didn't come to be until the 1930's? Iran came to be "Iran" since Aryans enter this area, which would be Late of second millennium BC. Review your history classes Dillon! http://upload.wikimedia.or...

While the history of the region is well documented, it was In 1935, when Reza Shah Pehlavi changed the internationally known name of Persia to Iran, this is the context to which I was referring. Oh really? :lol: Can you please provide any resource to prove that so we can rewrite Iran's history or i...

Dillon, I believe your first comment was not about the change of name of Iran, but it was about an independant country named Iran.

Dillon, I believe your first comment was not about the change of name of Iran, but it was about an independant country named Iran. No Mel, it was always about the change of name, I'm not so green as cabbage looking! :lol: What's wrong with cabbage Dillon? you could just say you are not as green as ...

Not really, didn't have time to go to Bazar. But I guess they are available in Dubai, right? I can try to find it there.

I will travel to Dubai in Ramadan for a couple of days. All my manager's fault! I insisted to go before or after but apprently those people i need to meet are just available in Ramadan! So are there any restaurants open in Ramadan? Is it prohibited to eat in public in the fasting hours like Iran? I ...

Thanks guys. I hope in our office we have a place to eat! I know lots of my colleagues there are lebanese or Syrian, so they might fast. I dont want to stop eating and drinking water for whole day for 2 weeks! (

BM, I will reply that in PM.

I love iftars in Iran too. They are plenty of food they just prepare in Ramadan. My main concern is not iftar. but how I'm going to survive in the office?

In Iran I know all the ways to hide or restaurants which serve food, but in Dubai I need some expert ideas.

That's good news Chocs. Can you please name some of these eateries and outlets close to Media city if you know any. Thanks.

Did you ever find any Marmite in Iran? Not really, didn't have time to go to Bazar. But I guess they are available in Dubai, right? I can try to find it there. :) Well you can get it at most of the big name supermarkets in Dubai Mel and you could wear skirts, a dress or a trouser suit if you go dir...
