Most of my time is divided between cleaning the new place and shopping for the new place! The frustrating thing is that no matter how hard I scrub, the kitchen still looks like the "before" of the Flash advert :-( I wonder if Kim and Aggie do house calls in Iran?
Anyways, we're now the proud owners of a fridge/freezer, microwave/grill and washing machine! We went to an area called Keyvaanfair (the Tottenham Court Road of Qum!), where all the appliance stores are located, chose our stuff and got a whole load of recipe books in Farsi. I can't cook using English recipe books, so I'm not sure what good Farsi ones will be! While the process of buying a vacuum cleaner and food processor was long winded, buying major appliances was surprisingly the opposite. The appliances were delivered the same night (within 2 hours). We live on the second floor, and the guy carried the washing machine up 2 flights of stairs on his back. Yes, you read that correctly. On his back. I found it amazing that in a country where admin things take so long, appliances can be delivered the same day
