One of our new fans in California has sent this heartwarming letter. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!<\/span><\/p>\n

My name is Shadi and I reside in California.\u00a0 During my recent trip to Tehran in April, I learned that my dear friend Talieh and a team of dedicated individuals have been immensely investing in putting together a quality magazine, Gilgamesh, which elaborates on highlights of my dear country, Iran! As an Iranian-American in the diaspora, I thrive to get access to any piece of news and information that rightfully portrays the amazing resources in my country and I specifically enjoy educating my non-Iranian friends and encounters.\u00a0 Knowing the amount of work and devotion this team has been putting into collecting information in order to educate the world; I have been impatiently waiting to learn how to access Gilgamesh Magazine here in the US.\u00a0 To my pleasant surprise, Talieh told me that I can now order it on Amazon.Com!! My first reaction, of course, was a moment of shock and a glow of excitement in my eyes with disbelief!! I got online, ordered the Gilgamesh Magazine on\u00a0Amazon<\/a>\u00a0(which was decently priced), and now 5 days later in my apartment far from my mother land I have this truly professionally written magazine in my hands which arrived in perfect shape!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Now if you guessed that I will get Gilgamesh for my friends and family as Christmas and birthday gifts, you have guessed it right!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you, Gilgamesh for your contribution to informing the world on what to expect when traveling to Iran! Now, this is what I call quality work.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”4266,4268″ img_size=”700*400″ onclick=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
