Austin Trip - Oasis

In the way, Hanna talked to us about a boy who wanted to be friend with her and he was very rich. She said, "he was ridiculously rich. He spent more than 50$ for a lunch in his home when I was there. He even called to bring ice-cream. Who does this? Some of the building in UT Austin is with his name because his father donated them to the university. I don't want to meet such a rich boy." And Hanson told a story about one of his friends. He said, "I was with him for a while, and I didn't know that he was very rich. I suggested to go to Europe once, and he accepted. I said, 'OK. I search for hotels and airplane tickets.' he said, 'Airplane ticket? It is not necessary. I think that we can get my father's jet.' I said, 'What??? Your father has a jet?'" We laughed a lot about Hanson's story.

The view of the streets was amazing. Hanna said, "I have never been in Shomal or any other parts of Iran. Every time we go to Iran, we just go to Shiraz to visit the family there." She didn't know that some parts of Austin was exactly like Shomal.

Eventually, we got to the Oasis. It was like a cozy places in the mountains of Iran.

I could easily see that many boys and girls are dating here because of the types of cars that were there.

It was also a marriage ceremony there.

We went to that restaurant to see the view.

I had this feeling that the things people see in the card postal, I see in-person. It is amazing.  

The view was amazing. Henry said, "My friend said that you could see the ocean from oasis." And Hanson said, "Either your friend didn't know this place, or he didn't know what the ocean is." I really liked the lake view though.

We decided to sit there and eat something. We had a very good conversation with Hanna. I really enjoyed it. She told us about her 70 days travel to the mountains of Canada where there were no antenna and no sign of human beings. She went with a bicycle team, and biked all the way. She was a very adventurous girl. "I am too old for these kinds of adventures" I said. "But I am not. When I finished my PhD, I am willing to experience it." Henry said.

We were there until night, and the sunset was as amazing as what Hanna said.

Then, they started to play a live music inside. I went to see the performance. Some people were dancing together.

Overall, it was a very great place, and very great night.
