Barber shop

1- I went to barber shop last week,despite Iran most barbers do not really know how to cut hairs,they think people come to their shops just for shortening hair not for beauty,and you should explain for them how many inches of your hairs should be cut and how it should be done,anyway I think this a reason that George Bush has an Afghan barber.The guy who was cutting my hair asked me where I am from.I told him "Iran"
"I am so sorry for you guys!"Barber told.
"why?,maybe because we lost to Mexico in world cup."
"Yes"
"I do not know wht happend,but we played well in the first half time,but not in second half time."
"Where are you from?"
"I am from Thailand."
"Oh,good.you have a good team,whenever we need to beat you,you are very nice with us."
"Yes,this is true,we were beaten by Iran,several times."
"How long have you been here?"
"Since I was a kid,I want to save money and return to Thailand,I want to have my own business in my hometown,since I have been here for a long time,I can not work for another person.people make me fun if I do it"
"Same thing in Iran,People think everybody who goes to US ,would get some extraordinary characteristic and he should be so different,but in most cases it is not true."
2-I noticed here that people and women are very interested in having kids and media advertise for this matter,for example some times ago Angelina julie was pergnet and there was a huge advertisement about that in media such that she preferred to go to South Africa for birth of her baby. when each actress comes to TV show,she is asked about her baby and she enthusiastically explains about the baby like how the baby talk or walk,this a case which nobody cares about that in Iran.
Another point which I should tell is that the image of American women in Iran is like they are very loose in sex. on the other hand most people think that you can sleep with each girl you see which is not correct in most cases. I do not reject that there are some women who they do not care about sex morality but they are not in majority,mostly they are looking for a long term relationship which ends in marriage. I think freedom in relationship does not necessarily result in sex immorality. However this is a veiw which Iranian media and some movies has formed, and vice versa the real image of Iran is not the smae thing which American media show.
