No access...

It's the start of the weekdays again in Iran. It's the start of the second week in August and for myself too. I'm already facing some problems here and I don't know if I'll get any help from Tokyo as I see that the Japanese are now having their "Obon" summer vacations. With the Beijing Olympics starting its competition, things are worse as no one would probably bother to help any of the foreign bureaus!
It's sad for a sports viewer fan like me that I have limited access to Olympics, having no way of watching the excitement live. This may be the first Olympics ever that I have no way of enjoying them but to see the news later on about the results of my fellow countrymen and women...
At night, I found out that Dubai Sports on satellite was playing some of the games and having a news section in the nighttime. But since I had no way of understanding Arabic, I had no idea who they were talking about, except the names of the countries and perhaps Michael Phelps. Oh well, I have to bear with this frustration for two weeks!

My lunch for today!

some kabab koobideh with nan

I started reading some of the magazines sent from Japan... but...

oops... censorship! another thing I can't access here!
