| September 3, 2002 Biggest challenges facing Iranian immigrants The purpose of the following survey was to find out what issues/challenges, Iranian immigrants had met living outside Iran. 91% stated their biggest issue, is the difference between running water & toilet paper. 87% percent of this group stated that it took them more than two & half years to get used to the paper. 74% of this group said that they still dream about aftabeh. Of this 74%, 61 % bought either the authentic aftabeh or the plastic garden watering tool during their stay. Only 7.5% of this group were successfully able to use the aftabeh or the garden variety. Due to be sitting on the bowl, the other 92.5% had difficulty pouring the water out near the correct location. Many gave up after finding it too messy. The successful 7.5% stated that squatting on the bowl, as the reason for their success. 50% of this group had fallen off the bowl several times, before mastering the technique. 82% of the unlucky 92.5%, have been taking daily showers to compensate. The other 18%, still taking weekly showers, suffer from sever BO & respond violently to the term "koon-nashoor". 2% had once or twice brought in the garden hose to the bathroom, but found it difficult to run outside to shut the water down with their pants down. 1% declined comment.
