Sunday March 21

Sunday March 21, 2010:

Today is the first day of spring according to Iranian calendar.
In fact with time zone in China it was almost midnight which Vernal Equinox happened. Believe or not I and Wijbren were sleeping. I must confess during my life till now, whenver it happens after midnight the year changes I am in bed.I know sound is pathetic, but it is me!

Anyhow, I have managed to make a proper (Haft Sin) and I am going to keep it. Especially my sprout grows very well which is a good sign. I am not superstiousor what, but it is a national ritual.

Anyhow, tomorrow will be a working day and my friends back in Iran will have 2 weeks off. I am kind of jealous that I don’t even have Christmas off here, as China is not a Christian country either, or a Persian land.
But I do have Chinese off, for good sake.

The weather is hot and excruciating, hopefully from tomorrow the temperature will drop.

Today we had New Year lunch feast, which was a sea food Buffet.
In Iran we have a tradition of eating Fish for the first day of New Year.
I made it works, somehow.
