Why Iranians are different in lots of ways

My family and I went to a Persian Restaurant in Sydney yesterday.

The food was really great but this shop like many other shops and businesses in Australia did not have an EFTPOS machine (It's the name of the machine enabling you to pay via your card in Australia).

Now the question is, out of all the companies operating in Australia, why only Iranians have to lack this facility?

Well obviously I haven't been to all the shops in Australia but I have been to many in different areas and every one of them has got the EFTPOS facility.

I have to raise the question again, do we really have to be different to others in everything  we do? Can't we commit ourselves to do business the same way every other business does?

Every time we have to go to a Persian shop specially some Persian restaurants, we have to go to an ATM machine and get some cash. It' so frustrating and unprofessional.

I hope Iranian business owners come to the decision to make sure they have an EFTPOS machine when they open a new business.

Believe it or not, even the Iranian Embassy in Canberra cannot process EFTPOS transactions. Don't know why, so don't ask please.


Another point about Iranian Persian restaurants is that by law in Australia, any restaurant should give you water free of charge. It doesn't have to be bottled water but they have to give you tap water if you ask.

And once again, Persian restaurants in Sydney simply do not bother to give you free water and even worse is the fact that they give you that dirty so-if-you-don't-have-money-to-buy-water-go-somewhere-else look if you ask for tap water in a glass jar. THAT SUCKS man.
If you need to try some Persian food, you can still try Persian restaurants but make sure you carry enough cash with you.

What do you do when you miss Iran?

There are circumstances in which we all miss our home country no matter what the main reason was behind our migration.

We could be out of Iran due to social, political or even personal reasons, but we could miss it for no specific reason. I don't know but it sometimes occured to me it was something hormonal (I didn't say that , did I?). I mean, for instance, I could be driving 8 o'clock in the morning on the road and just miss having a sandwich in a sandwich shop in Tehran, or simply miss being on holiday in Iran.

This might happen a lot more when you have just arrived to the new country and you have sort of settled down.

Sometimes you might get a burst of feeling for no specific reason; you might miss a busy place in your city or just miss a person who had a grocery shop round the corner to your house or simply food.

I sometimes wanted to do everything I could to be in Enghelab square in Tehran, go to one of those sandwich shops and order a sandwich.


When this happened to me, and if a computer was closeby, I would jump on Google and watch pictures of different areas of Iran or basically google the name of the street and see what it looked like.

What do you do when you miss home?
