One day in Park with Justin and Martin and their wives

I have my car for the weekend. Since Martin and Justin don't have a car, I wanted to give them a ride, and brought them to a park near our home. We went there, and it was a beautiful place. I ate my Iftar there.

The moon was awesome tonight.

Airbnb website

I found another website called Airbnb. This sounds to be the same as couchsurfing, but it is not free. You will pay for the room you get. It is not as comfortable as a hotel room, but for those who need a place to sleep, it could be a good option. I got a room here for nine days for 28$ each night in LA near Hollywood. There was no hotel less than 90$ per night in that area. 

I will go to L.A.

I will go to Los Angeles this August. It is the first time that I am going to go to a long travel. I will go LA for 9 days, and I will go to San Diego for 5 days. I feel really tired, and I need some rest. I hope that this travel helps me to recover from tiredness.

My research

I started to work on my research project finally this week. They showed me a demo of their application, and I think that I can do all they did during these three year in four months with better quality. I know how can I do this project with the best possible way. The negative point is that it is not really a research project. I just need to do something that I could do for the industry. I hope to do a real research in the near future after completing this platform.

I figured out last week that the professor has not registered for XPrize yet. I expected to work on a real competition. He had told me that they had registered, but they had only pre-registered for it. They were not even sure about participating there. It was a kind of heart-break for me.

Ramadan here

It is my first Ramadan in the US. It sounds that nothing is different here. No one fast, no one even care. I was willing to have take advantage of this month, but I couldn't. The only good thing that happened was yesterday morning of that accident. I expected more from myself, but I was lazy. My mom went to Mahhad, but I can't go anywhere. Every year I promise to myself to have pray more in this month, but I can't. My feeling was strange here. I could feel the month, but I couldn't feel that people around me care about it. 

Hostelworld.com

I decided to try Hostels for the first time in my life. I always used to get a hotel room, but the only thing I need is a place to sleep. So, I booked a hostel room for my San Diego stay from Hostelworld.com website. I could find another private room in Airbnb website for the same price, but I decided to experience something new. I hope it to be a good experience. Maybe I could meet someone new there. However, I will spend my time with my friend and his wife who come to the US to enroll in UCSD.

couchsurfing website

Since I am a student, I can't afford expensive hotel costs. I decided to find cheaper travel options. Henry suggested me to find a place from couchsurfing.org website. People offer their extra rooms for travelers for free in this website. They expect to get a room if any in traveler's house once they want to visit their town. I found some places in LA, and I contacted someone, but I got no answer.
