Yalda night

Yalda night

In persian custom persians celebrate the longest night all over the year which is called Yalda . From Yalda night the nights are getting shorter and the days are getting longer , so people in Iran respect Yalda due to they belive that light and live is comming . There is a custom in Iran that people gathered to oldest one of their family and the make a small party , and they eat some frouts specially watermelon and stc , also in Yalda some men that they are engajed , they bring some jewllery and another valued gifts to their future wife . Must of the time in Iran I was in my friends house in Yalda for instance I was at Amir zarrin,s houst last 2 years , but this year I was on the road . After long cycling during the day I was looking for a place to rest in Gujranwala that a man gave me a place to rest and after a few minute some of his frinds gathered there and we talked .so it was very nice to have a celebration in Yalda with some pakistanis guys in very small room . we prepared some thing to eat and one of them singed very nice .so I was really happy that I could experianc a new Yalda in different way .

Last Update About Me

Febraury 18
 I am in Ancud, Chiloe. I am waiting here to receive my bicycle gears to fix it. My cassette and chain almost dont work and I cant cycle at all in any kind of uphill and I have to push my bike.
A friend of mine sent them from USA to Valdivia but they didnt arrive whle I was there myself and Jose, my Chilean friend in Valdivia sent them by bus to Ancud. So tomorrow I can pick them up and hopefully I will fix my bike to continue some more days in Chiloe and then will go to Carreterra Austral once again for some days.
