Here are pictures of Sara's dad's birthday which coincides with New Year's Eve!

Happy new year!

Yalda!

We went to my parents' on Yalda. It may have been our last before moving to Canada and my parents sure had this in mind when they set the table you see in the pictures. :)

Kangaroosha!

I've just noticed that I can't play Rosha's videos on my own website anymore due to government internet filtering! This is just great! Anyway, I'll keep uploading for future. Here are some new pictures and videos of Rosha. She gets so excited when she holds our hand and stands up in her cot. BTW, in the second picture, that's her grandpa (my father) holding her.

Carrefour in Tehran?

Rosha cried a lot last night and kept touching and beating her ears. We assumed she might have got ear infection, so took her to the doctor's this morning. It was nothing serious though, just the beginning of a cold. We've got her some medicines and will be wrapping her up in blankets for some days until she gets well. We also asked the doctor about her stroller and she said it was a little early for Rosha to use it yet. Think it's better to wait for another month until her backbones are stronger. The doctor also said that her developement is fast and she will probably start walking early.

Tonight, we're having my family over for Iftar. We've planned to go to Tehran's Hyperstar afterwards. It's a hypermarket built by the French and I think it's in fact a branch of the famous Carrefour hypermarkets as the logo resembles that of Carrefour. If it really is Carrefour, I don't know why they've had to change its name in Iran. The hypermarket is large and based on international standards; the prices are good too. It's a new thing for Iran and most people don't know about it yet. We've visited the place twice and we noticed it'd got more crowded in the span of a week.

I recommend everyone visit the place at least once. The address is as follows:

تهران - بزرگراه شهید ستاری - بلوار فردوس غرب - خیابان بهار جنوبی - خیابان ارم شرقی

Ciao! (I would've written more, but this is pretty much all the Italian I know! )

How to take photos of yourself while driving | Ask Ali!

It's pretty simple. Just hold the camera below the rearview mirror, press your fist against the windshield for better stability, smile and click! (Not recommended for amateur drivers!) This photo was taken at 120KM/H! Didn't come off too bad, did it? LOL!

The cute little girl with us is Melody, Sara's cousin who lives in France and was here for holidays! We're heading for Sarzamin Ajayeb! Yooooohoooooooooo!

This is a picture of me and my family.

From left to right: My grandma, my dad, me, my sister and my mum.

We went to the diplomatic restaurant in Ozgol Thursday evening. We took pictures (Sara's taking this one!) and then had dinner. Here's the corniest sentence you've ever heard: I love my family!
