The reason I like this river, the river Zayanderod, is because it’s such an iconic location. It’s a great… it’s a backdrop to these great landmarks of the city: the historic buildings and famous tourist sites in the city. And I’ve got good memories of being there on a New Year’s Naurouz recently. In Esfehan, Nouroz celebrations are all focused on the river, with the river and some of the landmarks as the backdrop to a big fireworks show. And so the river’s all lit up, and there’s a spectacular fireworks display put on, and lots of tourists and local people all watch it there together. That was really an unforgettable experience, and the river was central to it.
