Yo where you gonna be stayin at? That’s mostly what the inquiring minds of my friends and fam wanted to know when I told them I’m on a mission to bring peace to the Middle East.

Well, here ya go. A quick lil video of my aunt’s apartment in Vanak Square, where I stayed while I was in Tehran. I’d wake up to the sweet sounds of a street vendor’s voice magnified through his megaphone every morning…

My aunt’s kitten Khoshgel. Her name means “pretty” in Farsi and it’s nearly impossible to pronounce correctly so I just called her Simba

It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone. Or to see cars parked on the sidewalk in Tehran.

The “no touching between man and woman” rumor dispelled right before my eyes.
