Hello Omar!
It was nice talking with you in the class today. I haven't spoken a lot with you yet. But I find it so interesting to learn about other cultures, so now I know a little bit more of yours. I also read your blogs but talking gives me more idea how it really is.
Greetings Karlijn

Hi Omar
I agree with Karlijn. Your authority in class does not allow to other classmates especially female to talk to you more. I thinks it is because of your religion, but I am familiar because I am Muslim too. Any way, thank you for your information about Lybia. I really did not know that you country has very low population, and it is an African Country. However, I knew that Lybia has oil because I am from Iran which has a rich source of oil and gas, and almost know about the countries that are a member of OPEK.
Also, I want to tell you that I have never tasted syrian pistachios, but I do not think I is better than Iranian pistachios. I am going to bring some Iranian pistachios in class may be in the pot luck party. you can compare.
Also about Iranian rug. Yes, they are very expensive because of the best quality of raw materials, and the most beautiful and creative designs,the most impressive color, and the most skillful people that make them. The rug that I pictured in my blog is an antique rug and the price is more that 20,000 US dollars, but there also are rugs in different quality and different price in Iran.
Thank you for reading my blog
