)Marriage, in my culture, has nothing to do with romance. It’s a matter of logic. If Mr. and Mrs. Ahmadi like Mr. and Mrs. Nejati, then their children should get marriage. On the other hand, if the parents don’t like each other, but the children do, well, this is where sad poetry comes from.
In American culture it doesn't really matter if the parents like each other because it only matters what the bride and groom think about each other. Soka has to pick a suitable Cambodian man to marry Sundara because that was Sundara's mom's last wish for Sundara when they last talked. I am confused as of why it matters if the parents like each other because they should care about they people actually getting married.

Since Iranian flavors are quite different from the flavors found in American convenience foods, most of the purchases ended up in the trash can
When I was in Florida we went to Epcot to have most of our dinners. In Epcot there are many different counties that are circled around the lake there, one night we went to a Mexican restaurant. They only had spicy, hot Mexican food and my sister, who is seven, doesn't really like spicy food so it ended up being thrown away.I think that she is right, American food is very different from Iranian food. We had a tendency to over fry our food and make a lot of food bad for you, where as Iranian food they have stir fry, which is very healthy, and many different kinds of vegies. Ravy had been trying American food and liking it unlike his relatives.
