- Plato-famous Greek philosopher- has a famous allegory. The allegory of the cave says that, imagine some people are fastened with a chain inside a cave, they are sitting forward the cave’s walls , there are a fire outside the cave and some people and stuff are moving outside. The only things that cavemen watch are the shadows on the wall, they think the shadows are all the world. They will never experiencne real world, except who have this opportunity to come out of the cave!
- This allegory expresses that, this world with all inside is just a shadow of the reality!
- This is a really great concept, but by permission of Plato I want to use it for something else, about taste of foods and fruits in USA!!
- I think food materials in Us doesn’t have a really delicious taste, when you start eating ,it doesn’t have a good taste such as what I experience in Iran. The US is like Plato’s cave, fruits and foods are just a shadow of the real ones in Iran.
- American and also Iranian who used to eating American materials are inside the Plato’s cave!
- Some days ago I was eating some nuts, first I ate walnut, then the almond, and finally the hazelnut, all has the same taste!!! Can you believe me?? In Iran each of them has its own fantastic taste!
- Yeah you should be a real food lover to understand what I say!

- Writing from Midwest in US or Tehran, No difference..
- *I watched two films that were sad enough to make me down, but I suggest watching it especially to whom don’t live in the US: “American beauty” (1999) and “revolutionary road” (2008).
- *In Iran women usually clean facial hair by going to a barber, who uses sewing cotton for removing hair. I did it for two American women and you can’t imagine how surprised they became!!
- *I have just started reading English novels, the first one was “the Alchemist”, by Paulo Coelho and the other one which I am at the beginning of is “the housekeeper and the professor”, by Yoko Ogawa.
- *One of our Iranian friends had gone to San Francisco for vacation, I asked him how there was? “ it’s really just like Tehran except it has a really good weather.” He answered.
- *We have a really nice Iranian friend who lives in US more than 3o years. He has a teenager whose name is Ali. Whenever Ali speaks I hardly understand because he speaks really fluent and fast. Whenever I start speaking he starts correcting me: Maryam that’s not Espeak, that’s speak!!! That’s not Espend, that’s spend.

- *I used to watch European media (TV channels) some years a go, and nowadays if I find any spare time I will watch American media. I believe TV in America is much more moral than Europe, European media show everything, but American channels seems to be family based. In a general view they look more religious and moral.
- *when you live in your motherland, you think about people around the world, how they live, communicate, feel, love……. but after living among them, you see wow they more or less are like you, with the same feelings, lovemaking, friendship, stresses, entertainments and etc. Of course there are some real differences especially in culture and customs. But in subjects that are directly related to the human being’s nature, they are the same.
- *I found a really likable magazine. It is “Readers Digest” I remember when I was in Iran, our teachers in Iran language Institute suggested us to read it, now I have this opportunity.
- *Being a housewife is a really new experience for m. I never thought how many works you have to do as a housewife, I am not grumbling at all, I just want to say it is a job by itself. You have to do so many things: cooking food, making jam and cake, cleaning the house, washing the dishes, checking everything to be in the right way, ironing, sweeping and…….
