The life in Iran(Continue)
Hot 5 |
Ok,let me continue my blog,talking ahout the life in Iran.
I came back from Iran a week ago,Before i came back.
It was very tought working there,i have to come back and have relax.
Some of my friends always ask me if it is interesting working abroad?
Actually from my point of view,it all depends.I do not wanna make a conclusion for this quesion.
I am gone make a imperssion list for Iran,you could judge yourself.
1.Sometimes i have to work more than 20h one day,
For example,The usually working begin 9AM,But sometimes we need to upgrade the system(I work for telecom communication),
We must do it in deep night,Because during that time,There is little people using the mobile service.
It is crazy,I did it 2 times before i leave for China
And the daily job begin from 9AM ~ 8 PM,is it crazy?
2.It seems life could be kinda colorful,That is the pic we are outside with my local colleagues(Their style are tipical Iranian)
Persian curtual is original from Iran,We really enjoy the different curtual outside China.
3.Sometimes customers are rude,The impression for Iranian working style is 'reminder',They use big/red/center words in the Email,
Like this 'REMINDER'
Obviously for international stardand,it is very rude,Every time i see this words,I am sooooo angry.
Every Chinese engineers spent much time in job,But customers reply Email by rude way,it is unaccceptable.
Actullay i discussed this issue with our local staff,It is also not good way to Iranian people,They know it is impolite,But they use it.
4.They like everything made in China(Of course it is a little exaggerated,but it is very close).
Before i leave for china,Some of my Iranian friends give me a list,it is taobao URL,And they wanna me bring when i go to iran again.
And there is friend likes Chinese tea so much,that guy went to HK for mater degree education,and loved China during that time.
he told me he likes chinese women too.lol,that guy is handsome and i think he could easily find chinese GF if he come to china mainland.
5.It seems Information technology is not advanced there,Our customer && some local staff are not good at oracle/linux,
I always suggest my localstaff download doc from Internet,But they tend to join some oracle/linux training used to make improvement,
For chinese staff,we prefer to download reference docor buy some books.
The advertisement of training class for DBA/MBA are everywhere.
It seems they are full of crisis sense,they eager to imporve thier basic and business knowledge.
BTW,hunting for job in Iran is not easy,especially for women.
6.I think i make a great improvement during the last 8 months that i spent in Iran,including my view,basic skill,oral English and etc.
Actullay i am kind satisfied with my job,I mean that the job for myself,not for company.
...
I am rellay looking forward my next travel for Iran,I kown it is totally fresh begining,I am ready.

- Well, you have quite an accurate account of life in Iran. Nice of you to tell readers about your interesting time there. That should be an important experience for your career as you have international exposure.
The country is not properly developed due to years of internal and external war. They are trying to modernize but still a long way to go. China can offer a lot of products and services to Iran. Iran is also a strict Muslim country which makes progress difficult, but they have the all important oil underground, so everything works there.
It is not so easy for a Chinese person to adapt to life there due to cultural differences, but you seem to adapt quite well. Iran people are quite direct in their talk and often offend people, but after sometime, you would understand their attitude and accept it. Don't have to be offended because after all it is another country and there must be differences. Quite a lot of Iranians are nice and polite.
The photos are quite colorful. Pretty girl beside you eh? haha... You are quite a handsome guy too. Nice. Others would envy you.
Now that you are back you would need to reset yourself and get back to normal life. Hope everything goes smoothly for you.

- Usually women is fewly visible in pubic place in those not advanced and muslim religion country, when I was in Egypt and Bali island, we can barely see female, even the air waiters are most men; but in Singapore and Malaysia, women do go out with veil.

- I would like say that you are a very brave lucky one as you eventually realized your dream—going abroad. Iran, where most people would not consider as it is said to be a dangerous place, full of wars, actually, it is not the same as what others imagined.
And now you have experienced life, no matter happy or sad, it will make you feel excitement at first compared to stay in one city all your life-so boring. You will be more independent and stronger, gaining self-confident, making new friends, etc
All the best for your future
