Salam. Esmam Kareem hast. Khoobi? Mikham beram Iran!
Hello. My name is Kareem. You good? I'm going to Iran! Yeeee!
I'm bursting with excitement and curiosity as I prepare for my 3 week adventure to Iran! For those of you that don't know, I have adopted a new name, Kareem, a new religion, Islam (to go along with my Buddhist, Christian and Jewish religions), and will soon have a new wifey, Kathreen (my girlfriend of 8+ years!)
To make a long story short, I had to convert to Islam, pick a new name, get a new hair-do, get a criminal report, Aids/STD check, and get legally married, twice (western and islamic)! All so me and my family could get Visas to go to Iran. We will be having a marriage ceremony in Tehran with Kat's family and will be traveling around the country to Shiraz, Esfahan and more! Stay tuned to learn more...
Hi Kareem,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Please post updates on your blog during your trip!
Way to go Karl. Love your new name. Keep me posted and post some pictures of Iran. BTW, I share a birthday with Ahmadinejad, so wish him happy birthday for me (October 28). Glen
ReplyDeleteSalam Kareem and Golbar
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you both on this momentous occasion. I am so excited to be a part of your Persian wedding. Traveling for 30 hours and staying awake all night last night was worth it... I loved meeting Golbar's grandma and aunt. The meal they prepared for us was delicious... chicken with saffron and pomergranate, beef with dried lime and tasty green sauce, saffron rice and salad. Can't wait to participate in all of the wedding festivities.
