Come on…Raja’i was actually not a bad-looking man.
I suspect the manager of this restaurant may be on this email list. If that’s the case can you please tell us where the heck the actual restaurant is? Thanks.
Above is in the domestic section of the Mehrabad airport. I’ll refrain from commenting.
Just remember that despite what you’ve been told, image is nothing, the first impression doesn’t matter and no one cares about the presentation. (The sign says:”Mobile Mechanic”)
I always thought I can run away to Iran if the ad bombardments ever started to get to me on the other side of the planet. Well I had another thing coming. They’re all here. Not just the nationals. They’re all here: Samsung, HP, Nokia, LG, Coca-Cola, Breitling, Esprit and and and. And if you think they’re the usual run-of-the-mill fake “nemayandegis”, you are absolutely right. In some ways we’re even worse than the west. But because a lot of times we have no idea what the hell we’re doing, we can get quite cute. Just check out the next:
I’m sure there’s a reason for this. Yes that sign says “bazneshasteh” (It’s a Help Wanted ad for a “retired person”).
This is your heritage. If you don’t know what it is, then you’re a true Iranian.
Most of the world has adopted English as its second language and Iran is no exception. As we are now host to a larger number of foreigners in the country than in the past, people from all walks of life have realized they should cater to this new group and communicate with them. To say the least it makes good business sense. And naturally, sometimes this strategy backfires and you find some very lost and confused foreign souls on the sidewalk staring into the void. Perhaps one of the best of these I’ve heard is a menu at some chelokababi. On it, chelokababe makhsoos has been translated as “very good chelokabab”, and the regular chelokabab is listed as “not very good chelokabab”. Think about it, it’s completely logical.
We now miss all our friends and family in the outside and not much else. Well, of course maybe some good wine and bloody red meat. Ah, and clean air too.
