4 am Skype call with Farzad and Hoshmand in Sulymaniyah, Iraq. Farzad is just one of those people who can make you laugh till your stomach hurts. He shared some poetry he wrote (in Persian of course), swapped stories about our New Years, laughed about Borat, and just caught up. I think its comical that I can speak more Arabic than my friend who has lived in Iraq for 10 years.
