btw - yussufabad news!!!!!!!! another part of the new autobahn between bostanabad and tabriz was opened in the meantime!! and as it wasn't that far from our garden, and as the autobahn was higher than the normal road, it seemed to us as the trucks and cars were RIDING ON OUR WALL - heheheheee..



auf dem rueckweg: mt. SABALAN - ein dreitausender!!

today we made some new-year-visites - ipue normally don't like this that much.. but as they mostly had been absent (in holidays) it's not so bad to do this ONCE!!! *smile* and she took me with her - wow.. so many cakes and sweets and chocolates and fruits and nuts, every kind, every colour, every taste - yummyyyyy!!! me, POSSY, I was so happy and eat so much and I kept track of everything!!!! it's a custom the elder persons are giving newly printed bank-notes to the kids - but NOBODY gave to me one only!!!!!?!?!? :-((((((((((((((((( and when I was sad about, ipue asked me for the reason why I'm not happy like everybody in these new-year-days!!?!?!? and she gave her hubby a sign and next time when he gave bank-notes to the kids, hurraaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy - he gave one to me, too!!!!! believe it: :-))))))) I'm the happiest playmo in the big wide world!!!!!! :-)))))))

hi, here is POSSY speaking to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
iranian new year is so great.. beginning in spring and new year at the same time! everybody cleaned his/ her house and is prepared to see tons of guests!!!!

as well as we had in the last days of the old year some great trips - to auton. rep. nakhtshevan, to tehran, to province West-Azerbaiyan, teppe hassanlou.... I can tell you, that CROSSY, lucky boy, was picked up by MISSLONDON and they left one week ago for south-west IR to see the rare world heritage sites of this country!!!!

I'm really thrilled, what he has to tell us after being back home and I'm too much curious for his pics!!!!!!!!!! the opportunities for i-net are not that great there and so we have to be patient untill they will be back in tabriz!!!!!!!!

perhaps there will be somebody picking me up, too, for a great holiday trip????????????????????? :-(((((((( I'm keeping my fingers crossed - you too????????????

an sooo impressed, as in less than 24 hours you brought me nearly half of the page views I'd like to get during 6 days!!! YOU'RE SOOO GREAT, all my dear postcrossing friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

today is the first day of our new year, and we had been out the whole day! somebody don't like the new years customs to visit each other!! in my first time here, I didn't, too!!!! and it seemed to me like little girls are playing with their dolls... to get guests and to go for visiting..... - the SAME people!!! and meet in their houses also the same ppl like everywhere!! but now I think in another way about this. you have the opportunity to see ppl you hadn't seen for a long time or you would never reach to see them!!!!

so let me find a nice *HAFTSIN* to present you this nice custom in IR!! pls stay tuned!!

HERE MY ONE AND ONLY *FUN-HAFTSIN*!!!!!!!!
this is not THAT nice haftsin I'd show you but a FUN-haftsin from about 1o years ago, when the moment of moving to the new year was also like in this year during the night.. nobody was in the mood
to stay awake, to make efforts for a nice haftsin and so on, and finally my kids started to make a FUN-haftsin, just in the last minutes of the old year, to catch 7 things with *s*........

- saboun (seife)
- serum
- sidi (cd)
- sibzamini (kartoffel)
- saffeh (schallplatte)
- sin, the letter, written on papersheets

only sabze and newly printed banknotes had been from a normal haftsin... which is from..

- sib (apfel)
- serkeh (essig)
- samanou (getreidepudding)
- sabze (gekeimtes und ausgeschlagenes getreide)
- sir (knoblauch)
- senjed (frucht)
- sumagh (gewuerz)

our new year is 1o min old!!! *smile* and we had some fireworks even!!!!!!! for my very first time during these 35 years here in IR...
