I know one interesting thing about their culture ---if you say you like something they have, they try to give it to you. You have to be very careful when admiring their stuff because they're very generous.

I will confirm this. Over at a friend's house recently (I was working to fix a problem with his computer), I made the mistake of admiring the artwork of an inlaid pen and holder, made in Iran. He asked me if I liked it. I said, "It's beautiful." Suddenly it was mine...

Was it a space pen used by the astronauts? Your friend isn't Jack Klompas is he? Whatever you do, don't let him drive the Cadillac after you buy it back from him.
