What sorts of food do you like eating most?
I _enjoy_ a wide range of foods, but I’m especially into Iranian cuisine, because it offers variety of flavorful dishes. For me, popular types of Kebab called “Barg & Shish leek” are just something to die for.

Who normally does the cooking in your home?
About a year ago, when I was still living with my parents, my mom used to do most of the cooking, but now that I’m living with my girlfriend, we both usually cook together, and actually we find this to be a nice way to spend some quality time together.
- My mom is usually in charge of cooking in our family. If we have guest that it reuires more energy & time too be dedicated to pprepare the foods, me & my sister would help either so that my mother does’t bother so much.
Do you watch cookery programmes on TV?
I actually don’t have a television at home, so I can’t watch such cooking shows, but I do have a _recipe book_ that I often use for preparing new types of dishes. In fact, just day before yesterday, I used it to prepare a…uh.. I think it was called ‘red curry Thai soup,’ which tasted heavenly.

Hmm, I _haven’t thought about this before_… Let me think… I’d say that even though I really enjoy cooking, I still prefer to eat at restaurants, because they usually have a really nice ambience and they’re also very convenient. I guess I enjoy sitting in a public place with other people and being able to order anything from the menu _without going through the labor_ of preparing it myself.

How do you usually spend your weekends?
Usually, I _get together with my_ friends on the weekends we all go to our favorite spot, which is this huge karaoke bar with many private and public rooms for singing. And uh, the place also offers great food, so we usually order some snacks and drinks, and party until the bar closes at 4am.
Usually, I get together with my family on weekends. As I have a full time job during the week there will be some affairs in the home that needs to be taken care of such as shoppings, chores, etc. I will help my family handling those things.

Which is your favorite part of the weekend?
I’d say that I especially enjoy Saturday nights, because that is when my city comes to life! You can see streets bustling with people, malls filled with shoppers and bars, um clubs are packed with college students. If you ever come to my city, I’m sure you’ll have a great time!
_ For me personally having the opportunity to sleep more in the morning when I’m off the work, is the most enjoyable part of fridays, since I have to wake up early in the morning as part of my job conditions. So I can have a more
Do you think your weekends are long enough?
Actually, no. I work a nine to five job and my work is very challenging because I need to prepare technical projections for my company. So I always feel like I could use a longer weekend to spend more time with my friends or my hobbies.
How important do you think it is to have free time at the weekends?
Oh it’s paramount! For any person to work efficiently, they need sufficient time to recuperate and do the things they enjoy. Otherwise, it can result in frustration, health issues, lack of focus and a host of other problems.
