Sun 20th March : Persian New Year

Happy New Year Persian People!

In Iran, people spend the next two weeks visiting each other to say hello, give the young some money and generally party. One bunch of Persians in Philadelphia decided that it would be more fun if they squeezed this into one day. So the Lady and I went to the first house at 9am where there were about 30 other people from 10 different families wished each other happy new year. Then we went to the next at 9.45 - where the same people came too. Then we went to the next house. 12 houses in 1 day with all the same people in them!

The good thing was, that if I made a fool of myself (spillage, annoying the Lady, singing, dancing) in one house I could start all over again in the next!
