Celebrating Nowruz with some of my Iranian friends

A few Iranians from the Cite U got together last evening to herald in the new year. We began at 8:30 pm and ended at 2:30 in the morning. Drinks flowed, we munched on tokhmeh (salted melon seeds), nibbled Iranian cookies, sipped Iranian chai, changed the venue thrice and danced to kitsch Iranian pop music. A very memorable evening... Here's a picture of our group in front of the Haft Seen table at Fondation du Cambodge . Sahar (the girl in the front row) seems fascinated by the goldfish in the bowl!
