| 05:11.03 | aeryndunham | Good afternoon |
| 05:12.50 | klys | hi |
| 05:14.12 | klys | do you happen to know anyone who owns a tug boat |
| 05:14.58 | klys | I have heard that some tugs could be oceanworthy |
| 05:16.11 | klys | have shopped around, curious what kind of folks have them and how they did |
| 05:17.41 | klys | I imagine it would be any sort of normal family business success |
| 05:18.00 | aeryndunham | Haha no I do not, sorry |
| 05:18.21 | klys | ok, what's been on your mind, anything |
| 05:18.46 | aeryndunham | Not too much, been doing lots of reading |
| 05:19.06 | klys | do you ever get to look at maps and wish you could go places |
| 05:19.12 | klys | curious |
| 05:19.21 | aeryndunham | definitely |
| 05:19.25 | klys | if so, which places come to mond |
| 05:19.27 | klys | mind* |
| 05:20.02 | aeryndunham | I've been a lot of places, but I'd love to go to the interiors of continents; I've only been places with coastlines |
| 05:20.16 | klys | oh nice |
| 05:21.08 | klys | I was talking about Badakhstan with someone from Jammu |
| 05:21.42 | klys | recently, he says all around him are taliban except for Kashmir |
| 05:21.59 | klys | and he wants to be part of an independent Kashmir |
| 05:22.24 | klys | I told him it would probably be unsafe for someone from Jammu to cross into Kashmir |
| 05:22.38 | aeryndunham | I want to go lots of places where it isn't easy to visit |
| 05:22.42 | aeryndunham | Iran, especially |
| 05:23.12 | klys | there is a guy from Iran I talk to sometimes |
| 05:23.23 | klys | I talked to him about a week ago |
| 05:23.32 | aeryndunham | I used to have a relative from Iran |
| 05:23.56 | aeryndunham | I always liked him, he told me stories when I was a little kid about how beautiful Esfahan was, where he had been born, that always stuck with me |
| 05:28.49 | klys | Isfahan looks like a big city in the middle of Iran |
| 05:30.25 | aeryndunham | Yeah, it's a city |
| 05:31.56 | klys | yeah. The first thing that comes to mind is that Iran is responsible for a few things to keep international peace, and one of those is to avoid defecting to the extremists to the west, indeed, to fight against those extremists. |
| 05:32.35 | aeryndunham | I keep my interest in places as apolitical as possible; I'm just interested in Persian literature and architecture and history |
| 05:33.04 | klys | the other thing Iran seems important for is OPEC, particularly with neighboring countries to the north and south |
| 05:34.02 | klys | and I don't know any reason why I would think of Iran in conjunction with Afghanistan nor Pakistan, since they seem quite foreign to each other |
| 05:34.44 | klys | honestly those are my first thoughts just looking at Iran, I really haven't thought about the place much before. |
| 05:35.19 | aeryndunham | the Persian langauge is also very beautiful |
| 05:36.09 | klys | persian History seem somewhat relevant to Ancient Jewish Hebrew history, and I think I've given some thought to possible connections between cuneiform and seal script, though that would center instead on Mesopotamia. |
| 05:36.56 | klys | The really old seal script has a few intuitive looking symbols I've browsed pretty deep to find |
| 05:38.22 | klys | as far as Persian history is concerned, I might take an interest in ancient relics from Babylonian Captivity, and those might already be in museums. |
| 05:39.19 | klys | as far as beautiful languages are concerned, I'm pretty decided that Nippongo is a pretty language, though I haven't heard all Asian languages. |
| 05:39.49 | aeryndunham | I love languages |
| 05:40.18 | klys | what is it about persian you find appealing? have you heard it much? |
| 05:40.55 | aeryndunham | Yes, it's a very lyrical sounding language |
| 05:41.15 | klys | oh it does seem so |
