Having dinner with my people

 

Having dinner with my people

When I was in Wellington Celia the person who I was staying with her called one of the Iranian community in Wellington to let them know that I am there and make a contact with Iranian people there. After that Mr Moaveni called me and we had a lunch in Wellington museum which is called Te-Papa and we talked a lot about my journey, Iran and etc. just a night after that they made a party and some of my people gathered in a restaurant in Wellington to have dinner together and after that we went to the house of Mr Yassae who is the chef person of Iranian cultural society to have a tea. However tea was just an excuse and just we liked to spend more time together and reading some poems of Hafez. I was happy to be with my people and speak in Persian after a long time.

Thanks them all

صرف شام در کنار هموطنانم

وقتی در ولینگتون ، پیش سلیا بودم ، او با یکی از انجمن های ایرانی تماس گرفت تا حضور من رو بهشون اطلاع بده و با ایرانی های اونجا ارتباط برقرار کنه. بعد از اون آقای معاونی با من تماس گرفتن و با هم دیگه ناهار رو در موزه شهر ولینگتون که تی- پاپا[i][1] نامیده می شود، خوردیم و کلی در مورد ایران ، سفر من و … صحبت کردیم. شب بعد اونها مهمونیی ترتیب دادن و تعدادی از هموطنانم در رستورانی در ولینگتون برای صرف شام دور هم جمع شدند و بعدش هم برای خوردن چای، رفتیم خونه آقای عیسایی که رئیس انجمن فرهنگی ایرانیان هستند. در واقع چای بهانه بود چون ما دوست داشتیم زمان بیشتری رو با هم باشیم و کمی هم شعر حافظ بخونیم. خوشحال بودم که بین هموطنانم هستم و می تونستم بعد از مدت زیادی فارسی صحبت کنم.

از همشون متشکرم

Last Update About Me

April 23
After that hard challenge I did to cycle from Antofagasta to Iquique which was a strech of 418 km, I was totally drained, even though I didnt complete it and I just cycled like 350 km but 2600 m of climb. That much climb in 36 hours cycling with little rest was so hard with my 65 kg bicycle. 
Then I took a car all the way to Santiago and now I am here waiting for my appointment in Brasil embassy. Then I am hoping to be able to finance my journey to go back to Iran to visit my mom. It has been more than 13 months that I am outside and it is time to return home for a visit, to have my vacation.
