WOW! Iran is not a country I’d ever have considered visiting but if all the nice things are still true, I’ll add it to my list…..uh, do they like Aussies too?

Denise speaks FIVE languages?!?! Impressive! I’m Australian, so I barely speak one! 😂 Thanks for the bunus post. I never get tired of your awesome stories, Mate. 💛

Reading this post was such a joy for me. My daughter’s best friend in school, was Sarah Dubai, her family lived a few houses down from us, they invited us to dinners that were deliciously scrumptious, the food kept coming for hours!
