RE: Where were you when the ball dropped? (Any year)
2003 I was in a tea house in Isfahan, Iran.
They don't even use the gregorian calendar there so no one was even aware it was new year for me :) I got up and shook hands with everyone. Fond memories :)
That's interesting. Thanks for sharing. Do you know if they have any kind of New Year tradition in Iran, possibly on a different date? What calendar system is used in Isfahan?
Nowruz is the Iranian new year. I wasn't there for that but I am sure there are huge celebrations. I am going to blog about my past travels in the coming months and I'll write a bit about different new year celebrations from around the world. I'll be eating grapes this new year. A Spanish tradition.
I look forward to reading about them. I'll look into Nowruz. This is the first I've heard of it. Thanks.
