Our friend's parents set up a haft-seen table in Room 21. It was interesting to hear the names of the objects in Farsi.
"Eid shomam moborak!" to all our Iranian friends!

Norooz
Our friend is Iranian. She is celebrating Norooz, the Persian New Year, this Saturday. Each Norooz, Iranians around the world decorate special tables called 'haft-seen' tables. 'Seen' is one of the letters in the Farsi alphabet. The equivalent is 's' in English. Items beginning with 'seen' are displayed on the haft-seen table, each representing a wish for the new year.
