I was pleasantly surprised! He was at a booth at the Medical Device exhibition I was visiting. It was earlier in the day and the booths were clean with some chatty booth managers. He was displaying in his booth what got me intrigued so I paused on my walk and he invited me over. Then he asked if I were Persian and I affirmed. I asked how he could guess and he replied "I'm wordly". We talked about their products and how they have projects in Singapore and China and Middle East. I thought he must have been to enough places and seen many different people and talked to a variety of nationalities to be able to tell I was from Middle East and moreover right from Iran. When I was to depart he saw me off by "shokran!". There was the worldly man! Thanking a Persian in Arabic! I walked away correcting him in passing: "merci! Sepaas!"
