Next door to The Yellow hostel in Rome, there's a restaurant called the Taverna Pretoriana... I went over to get my fill before my early morning flight. I certainly did got my fill! Nothing that special, but still... fresh and tasty >>> Photo essay

by Souri on Fri Dec 03, 2010 10:45 AM PSTI can't hear anything in that video.
BTW, What do you think about JJ's photos? Don't you think he should go to a real Italian Resto instead of an Arabic kind of Italian food? LOL
It's exactly the same in Paris, lots of Chinese, Greek and also Alsatian restaurants are run by the Moroccan or Algerian people.
Mystery!
Get over it

رحم کن

جهانشاه،
حالا به خودت رحم نمیکنی، به ما رحم کن. آخه بابا یه ته استکان لیکوری گفتن، یه انگشتونه قهوه. یه دلبر درست حسابی میشوندی جلوت که اینطوری وحشتزده به دوربین زل نزنی ما رو بترسونی.
راستش من از غذا تو رم خوشم نیامده. تو دهکدهها غذاشون خیلی بهتره. منتها تو موش شهری هستی دیگه. کاریت نمیشه کرد.
راستی چرا دیگه عینک نمیذاری. از وقتی رفتی اروپا مثل اینکه چشم و چارت خوب میبینه. :)
I want JJJ's Job!
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Fri Dec 03, 2010 09:07 AM PSTNow back to the real world...
"Personal business must yield to collective interest."
what is going on here?!
by Monda on Fri Dec 03, 2010 08:49 AM PSTalthough the veggies look awesome in the shot at least... i would have taken the pastas to go for breakfast. And the crostini looks bland (not enough garlic, no basil whatsoever & not enough olive oil).
So remember JJ, when they recognize a tourist, price immediately changes in front of your eyes. I've had really good food in Lucca, Siena and Firenze.
IC's anatomy
by comrade on Fri Dec 03, 2010 05:36 AM PSTWe have to move on from abusing language to the subject of this blog: Abusing the digestive system.
Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.
Moving on
by Jahanshah Javid on Fri Dec 03, 2010 05:28 AM PSTNo more personal attacks please. Thank you. Let's move on.
Italian food is delish but expensive & petite size
by Anonymouse on Fri Dec 03, 2010 05:34 AM PSTCompared to American food. Wine sometimes is cheaper and better and they won't serve you tap water, only bottled water so they can charge you and they charge the tip as well which is actually good, but you have to remember not to double tip. They give you a cat food size dish and charge you 20 euro! Although here JJJ had it all; the appetizer, salad, entre AND the pasta so he couldn't finish it!
They say to stay away from eatries at the tourist attractions where a lot of tourists go because they'll give you frozen pizza and other fast food disguised as "gourmet". This is especially true in and around at Vatican (our own Hazrat Masoumeh cousin's zarih ;-). The farther and inland the eatery the better the food. Also, the eateries who give coupons (like this one ;-) no good! When they give you discount they again give you the left overs!
These 2 links may come in handy for you while in Italy and Rome:
//wikitravel.org/en/Rome
//www.italiantourism.com/
AO Olive Garden is actually good. I didn't like it early on but over the years I've come to like it. All you can eat salad and the entre, you'll really get full.
Everything is sacred

by Niloufar Parsi on Fri Dec 03, 2010 03:54 AM PSTthere is a photo essay somewhere here too?! :)
I just lost my blog, so I make a comment out of my blog :)
by Anahid Hojjati on Fri Dec 03, 2010 04:02 AM PSTI can't believe it. I wrote a whole blog in support of one long time IC contributor who has been treated unfairly in the past few hours on IC and then as I was trying to make edit in it, poof, it was gone. Any way, I summarize here. We need our outspoken iranian ladies online. Some might call them names. But we need real Iranian ladies online who are knowledgeable and not afraid to debate guys online. So if there is an IC writer who fits this profile, this writer as a whole has a positive effect because most women reading IC are going to be impressed that a lady has such a prominent voice on IC and can debate guys and not just write slice of life stories but actually debate literature and politics.
Comrade you make me cry
by Dirty Angel on Fri Dec 03, 2010 02:47 AM PSTWhilst you are asleep I fight for the cause
Whilst you bother to brush your teeth with the toothbrush I brought, I fight for the cause
Ah, but when you dance, in the shoes that I had had tailored for you fuggly feet to make them causal, oh comrade, I did fight for the cause
and when you sang, your lips of artichokes, I did fight for them
"The shorter the life, the longer the death."
Darling, I just can't help being attractive. They say it's a scientific thing. Don't blame yourself, my darling, They say it's rather similar to advarks and eucolyptus trees. They said you'd be sure to understand.
He got laid, the weed was good
by Dirty Angel on Fri Dec 03, 2010 02:36 AM PSTno deletions! Yeah! It's Kiristsmas!
"The shorter the life, the longer the death."
Btw, umm no, the phtos were just like holidaysnaps , that was it really. Now if you can tell me why I am still up after a straight stretch of 46hrs work, now that would be interirxting
"So..." None of my beez, but...
by comrade on Fri Dec 03, 2010 02:32 AM PSTNever mind the cat fight, JJ. There is a little Italy in each of us. No exception.
Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.
So...

by Dirty Angel on Fri Dec 03, 2010 01:12 AM PSTDid I use tha fword at some stage? What a bumner!
I'll get hanged virtually, without a trial and a jury. WHØPPPPY!
;)
There really is something very sick about appearances in Iranian culture.
Never seen anything like it. Amazing thing is that the men , in my experience, seem to be by far more rational and reasonable than the women.Perhaps they really like to be lazy in the kitchen and command the entire household....
"The shorter the life, the longer the death."
DA
by Truthseeker9 on Fri Dec 03, 2010 01:07 AM PSTThe difference between you and some is that you wear your heart on your sleeve - say exactly what you mean, an honest perhaps naive person. The fact that you use the F word will get your comment deleted and/or you'll get blocked . Yet others, without use of profanity, in an underhanded way manage to stay on IC, throw abuse at people (which is acceptable as part of our Irania culture it seems), call them mentally disturbed, make threats to people and get away with murder. You, I and AntiMozakhraf are on the watch list. Now please lets leave this blog.
(Sorry JJ, for not commenting on you and your pictures or your trip...) I second this part of Azarin's comment.
Thank you , Truthseeker9 , Truly
by Dirty Angel on Fri Dec 03, 2010 12:59 AM PSTWhether I'm right or wrong, which as you know really isn't the issue with me,they act as a gang and prohibit dialogue. Pathetic. Primitive.
It is ,of course, JJ's site and his privilege, BUT if the site is to have any credibility in non-bias, the bullying has to stop. \
And it's always the women. No rational thought whatsoever, just the usual gossip and intrigue. I have ABSOLUTELY NO TIME NOR INCLINATION FOR IT.
I know for a fact that there a few teenagers who want to contribute to this site, but daren't because of the blatant bullying. And these people are good writers. Really good.
Truthseeker9, thank you for your support. Sometimes it really isn't amusing typing like a one shark out here.
"The shorter the life, the longer the death."
BTW some unsolicited advice for you off the boaties: ULTIMATELY it doesn't matter how you appear, it is the way you walk, act and think and comport and conduct yourselves that will give you a true identity upon your DEEDS....
Or perhaps you would try to act without prejudice, Ms Sadegh
by Dirty Angel on Fri Dec 03, 2010 12:39 AM PSTAnd would consider the vERY FACT that this username of mine has been HARRASSED and MALIGNED by guttersnipes over the past few months,that I finally have had enough and speak out!
Ms sADEGH, I for one,WOULD NEVER MAKE JUDGMENT ON YOU, VERY SIMPLY BECAUSE I HAVE THE PRIVILGE OF ASKING A LIVE PERSON, AND FURTHR MORE I'M NOT THAT FAMILIAR WITH JURIPRUDANCE.
And for the upteenth time. Not for my own sake alone, but hundreds of readers, who are timid, who lack confidence, who are shy, who might, at one stage want to take the leap , just to express their voice. Their RIGHT. And just write a blog. And then maybe write a piece. And then maybe an article. And then maybe.....
But would feel immediately harrassed and bullied by the likes of the guttersnipes, fishwives' comments and bullies below.
BUNCH OF BULLLIES!
WHERE IS YOUR HUMANITY???
WHERE IS YOUR GENEROSITY???
WHERE IS YOUR SENSE OF LIBERTY???
WHERE AND WHEN DO YOU SUPPORT ANYONE WHO DOESN'T THINK OR WRITE LIKE YOU???
THAT COUNTRY OF YOURS IS FUCKED. SIMPLY BECAUSE ALL OF YOU KNOW BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE, ALWAYS,WITHOUT EVEN HAVE READ A BOOK PROPERLY
AND ALL IF YOU ARE "NICE " ABOUT IT. YOUR PLEASANETRIES MAKE ME VOMIT. IT IS YOUR "PLEASANTRIES " THAT MURDERED SO MANY PEOPLE.
I ought to write a blog about this.
actually, jj, it's quite appropriate, Roman politics, was superior even over 2 thousand years ago.
"The shorter the life, the longer the death."
Dear Azarin
by Truthseeker9 on Fri Dec 03, 2010 12:24 AM PSTDid I not see a recent remark by yourself in two blogs harassing DA and outing her identity? And now you are dishing out accusations of bullying to the said individual? A case of pot and kettle ...?
//iranian.com/main/2010/oct/ahmad-reza-ahmadi
Another observation - why is it that certain ladies on this site who are clearly friends on the outside refrain from commeting when others are being bullied on the site (if they are so moral) , but only show up defending their own clique?
Yet another observation - why do these ladies always appear on JJ blogs? JJ what is it about you that is so magnetic to them?
Azarin, you are my hero tonight
by Anahid Hojjati on Fri Dec 03, 2010 12:08 AM PSTThanks for being the voice of reason.
An observation about this unfortunate thread
by Azarin Sadegh on Fri Dec 03, 2010 12:00 AM PSTFrom what I read here, it’s clear that the one acting like a bully on this thread is Dirty, having lost her Angel side for no logical reason...while Souri has kept her cool with grace.
So, I second whoever flagged Dirty's comments on this thread and I hope JJ would delete these personal attacks on one of the kindest (and wittiest) members of this site.
Voila!
(Sorry JJ, for not commenting on you and your pictures or your trip...)
Anti Mozakhraf, my man!
by Dirty Angel on Thu Dec 02, 2010 10:41 PM PSTAbsolutey too true,
But thank you again, for being a gentleman.... It's important.,,,, Very important. (And I hope that don't ruin your life for encouraging to be what you are,....gentlemenhave a hard timeof it these days in some quarters...)
"The shorter the life, the longer the death."
Crikey , loads to read;) I'll definitaely read that tomorrow, properly

Just for you Angel

Angel jan
by AntiMozakhraf on Thu Dec 02, 2010 09:56 PM PSTCouldn't agree more about speaking up against injustices. But what I have learned, especially with regard to IC, is to ask myself this: Who is it that I would be voicing my objection to? Time and time again the answer proves to be 'not someone who has ever displayed an ounce of what it takes to get it'. So why waste your time Angel jan? The same people here pull each other's hair out one day and the next day they are kissing each other's behinds...and all with no discussion, no reaching an understanding, no reason. Their friendship is as hollow as their enmity...it all rises from a hollow soul... and the fix for that my friend, is beyond both our capabilities ( and desires I dare say!)
I say let's just let them eat cake lol
Anti Mozakhraf LOL!!!
by Dirty Angel on Thu Dec 02, 2010 09:42 PM PSTTHANK YOU! ;;)) Not familiar, but I could imagine or should I?
Just been weeks and months on end of this, and totally unfair, just sheer bullying.
Sometimes one has to be vociferous about injustices, even if it's about online continuous, systematic bullying, which has enormous effects on very many other people.
"The shorter the life, the longer the death."
THANK YOU for coming up as a loyal, timely trooper. ;)
