The Carnival in Rio de Janeiro is a world famous festival held before Lent every year and considered the biggest carnival in the world with two million people per day on the streets. The first festivals of Rio date back to 1723.i

Everybody knows about world’s biggest and best carnival ever, the one from the samba capital of the world, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Rio’s Carnival is a wild 4 day celebration, 40 days before Easter. It officially starts on Saturday and finishes on Fat Tuesday with the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday after which everyone is supposed to abstain from all bodily pleasures. Carnival with all its excesses, celebrated as a profane event, can be considered an act of farewell to the pleasures of the flesh. It usually happens in February, the hottest month in the Southern Hemisphere, when the Rio summer is at its peak.i
You need to know some Portuguese, not the whole language, but just the basics, as some people may ignore you if you speak English all the time. They may have beautiful people but not many of them are over 30, and the ones that look like 30 may be 15, so be careful with who you’re dealing with. Also, the Brazilian women seem not to be able to smile for some reasons, so making them smile is a great chance to take, especially when they are dancing.i

 Ya, The last days of Nowruz 1392 is passing on!! As if it were yesterday that we were getting ready for the new year!!! Now the last day is tomorrow, the famous Sizdeh Bedar. The people spend the day outdoors hanging out with their family and friends! They take Sabzeh out of their homes and throw it in a stream, river, or anywhere that water flows! i 

Another tradition of Sizdeh Bedar is for young single girls to tie a knot with the sabzeh and make a wish to find a husband in the coming year just before throwing it out.  Some also make a wish by simply tying a knot in regular grass.

III hope all your wishes turn into reality during the year!i

May you all have a lovely Sizdeh Bedar with family and friends!

 My memory,i

I remember once we had a debate on the superiority of men or women! All of the students defended women except the teacher, Mr. Nagheli, who were on the men's side! We couldn't convince him that women have the significant role in a family! He didn't accept our ideas and didn't and didn't! Now, I wish he were here and could see just a typical masterpiece of the men!!!i w Please wait!i

   ?TEACHER:Where is your homework 

ME:I lost it in fighting a kid who said you werent the best teacher in school
