AHHHH!!!
So I call home this morning (night time in the states) and my mom tells me that my bank, wells fargo called 3 or 4 times to inform me about some recent charges on my credit card that seem fraudulent. Oh great, I already knew they were fraudulent charges since I haven’t used my credit card except for two weeks ago at the airport in Amsterdam. So I call up wells fargo bank and sure enough I did not make the charges they were listing off. So they canceled the card and are issuing me a new one. It’s not that big of a problem but getting a new credit card number is a big hassle since I have a lot of auto payments setup on my current card that I need to change.
Other then that not much going on here except for other parts of Iran are freaking out over the cyclone that is lingering to the south of Iran. It shouldn’t come near us so we are out of harms way.
I also wanted to mention how inexpensive some things are in Iran. Right now gasoline is about $0.43 a gallon and electricity is about 1.5cents a kilowatt (ours is ~11cents in California). I have been contemplating on how I could bring some gasoline and electricity home but somehow I don’t think its possible.

that seriously sucks…
let me know what else i could do.
you should probably point out that the cost of living in general is much cheaper there (not just in terms of energy resources)… which means that their paychecks are also high….
hey find out what the interest rates are for banks… i’ve heard numbers but i still can’t believe it.
Damn thats hella cheap for gas!!!! If only here in the US could we get gas that cheap! Right now its around 3.23 in elk grove…
hey- sorry about tonight- was distracted.
hope you get a chance to call tomorrow!
