Life in Iran is terrible for everyone I personally have a very good friend that left Iran because of the persecution.

As a Persian, I do not agree with Sama!...\nWe use "Mosh" instead of "Mouse", not "Hamster"!\nAlthough A hamster is a rodent (like mouse) belonging to subfamily Cricetinae but in Persian we call this animal: HamEster... exactly like you say in English, but with difrences in pronunciation.

among  برای زمانی می شود استفاده که به بیشتر از حداقل 2 چیز اشاره میشود. ولی between برای نشان دادن اینکه چیزی در بین چیز دیگر قرار دارد استفاده میشود. For example:\nThere is a bank between those two shops.\nThere are many different kinds of characters among a society. OR: There was a man standing among the crowd of people.

I prefer an iranian girl...\n\nIran should be an Interesting place to visit, if it was more politically stable. Persian History is very rich (by the way don't confuse Iranians with Arabs)\n\nUnfortunally their leaders have very dangerous ideas...

I celebrate it myself. I am Azeri, not Persian, but every aspect of my culture has been strongly influenced by Persian culture, including the vocabulary of our language. In my language, the holiday is called Novruz. \n\nThe holiday is celebrated on March 20th and 21st. The four Wednesdays before it are also celebrated, each for the four main essences of life: Fire, Water, Air and Land. I am not sure what order they are celebrated in.\n\nThe house has to be very neat in the morning when everybody wakes up. If it is not, then you enter the new year with a dirty house, which is bad luck.\n\nWhen Novruz finally arrives, there are many things that are fun to do. \n\nOne of everybody's favorite is the "egg" fighting. Everybody has a colored egg, which is done in a special way, before Novruz, whih is also boiled, and on the day of celebration, "fighters" hold the egg in a certain way and hit it lightly to the other egg. Whoever's cracks loses and usually eats the egg, while the winner can go around and get some other people to "egg" fight.\n\nAlso, at night people gather and make fire. Everybody has to jump over the fire 3 times for good luck. Jumping the 4th time is considered bad luck. After everybody jumps, they add more wood to make the fire brighter, for a bright new year.\n\nNovruz also has a similar tradition to Hallooween. At night, kids ring the bell of a house and put their hats in front of the door and run away. When they are back they usually have candy of all sorts inside it.
