My First English Post

Hi,

I am an Iranian student, living in the United States and studying in one of the universities of the east coast. I also have a weblog in my native language, Persian named Gahi Godari which means “Once in a While”, “Now and Then” or “From Time to Time”.

In this English weblog, I am going to write about different topics including my experiences about living in this country and also learning English as a second language.

In fact when you enter a new country or start talking a new language, many funny or sad things happen for you every once in a while. So I may sometime write about such experiences. These experiences can be interesting and maybe useful for a foreigner who also has or will have similar experiences. Meanwhile, it can help American people to know more about other people (especially Iranians)’ thoughts and also challenges they have in the U.S. Also, I will try to introduce my homeland, Iran and give a better view about her people and their culture.

I believe that all people around the world are limbs of one body as a Persian poet, Sa’di said it over 700 years ago. His words are now written above the portal to the United Nation. What causes difference and even arguments among people is a tall wall of misunderstanding (as said by President Khatami), which can be removed by more and more dialogue among civilizations. I hope this weblog can be a tiny source in this direction.

So, check my weblog out every once in a while as I update it.
