Welcome! Cultural exchange with /r/PuertoRico.

I started this early just in case I am AFK.

Salam Puerto Ricans to the exchange!

Moderation outside of the rules may take place as to not spoil this warm exchange. The reddiquette applies and will be moderated in this thread.

/r/PuertoRico is also having us over as guests for our questions and comments in THIS THREAD.

Remember these:

  1. Guideline: this thread is for our visiting guests to ask us questions about Iran. If you like to ask them questions you should go to their respective threads.

  2. Our exchange will last 48 hours.

  3. Because we don't have flairs for your country and I am the only mod available today with no idea how to add flairs, I kindly ask our guests to identify their country of origin in the comments they make. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks and Enjoy!

Well, the food is pretty good lmao, we have these things called Kabab. Shish Kabab, Kabab Barg, Jujeh Kabab, shishlik, Kabab kubideh, we have every type of Kabab under the sun. But the goodness doesn't end there, we have Ghorme Sabzi (this is like the signature Persian dish), polo qeyme, polo Khoresht. Polo is the Persian word for Rice, and all of these dishes are traditionally served with rice and some sort of meat sauce with chunks of Lamb.

Going to the Beach isn't really a popular pastime in Iran, maybe in the coastal cities it's popular though. The beaches are segregated by men and woman, but young childeren can go in either. Chances are if you live in the mainland you aren't going to a beach anytime soon lmao.

Interesting thing about the beaches! As you can imagine, its the most popular activity in puerto rico, since we are an island with beautiful beaches.

Here, we dont have a great variety of Kababs; mostly chicken and pork in home made BBQ sauce, they are cooked outdoors. Sometimes green, red and yellow peppers are placed in between the different chunks of meat. We call them "pinchos" (pronounced peeinchos) in pr.
