t is now Noruz -- for those of you with Iranian friends, wish them a happy New Year! For Noruz, everyone likes to buy (or trap) goldfish in a bowl until they die...Ok, sorry, they like to keep goldfish. These are two of my fish. Out of 5 original fish, only one is remaining. It will soon die -- it seems that all of the fish brought into Tehran this year were sick. Anyway, for those people traveling to Tehran - Noruz is only exceptional or interesting because the traffic reduces significantly and the city becomes like any other large city - rather than one large parking lot. But don't expect any fireworks (haha) or even any public celebrations - just a few banners and small television programs. The best sign of the New Year is that on all the street corners there are men selling these lovely fish. I Love Fish!
