The first day of the year is the first day of spring and it is called Nowrouz. The first 6 months have 31 days, the following 5 months have 30 days and the last month normally has 29 days but 30 days in leap years.
• Iran or Persia Persia is Iran’s old name. In 1935, Reza Shah, king of Iran, changed the name of the country from Persia to Iran. Iran means the land of Aryans.

• Iran is home to Zoroastrianism, one of the oldest religions in the world The religion was founded by the prophet Zoroaster in the 6th century BC. There are still Zoroastrians living in Iran today. Even though the majority of Iranians are Muslims, some of the main Zoroastrian’s feasts are still celebrated by all Iranians. Some of these festivities are Nowruz, Yalda, Charshanbe Souri.
• Iranians say things they don’t mean When we talk to friends or family members we normally say phrases like “Ghorbunet Beram” or “Fadat”, which mean ”I will sacrifice myself for you”, but we don’t really mean it. Sometimes we want to show our love but some other time we just use it to end a conversation in a polite way.
• The unique culture of Taarof This is another example of the previous fact, but this one is a little more complicated. Taarof is a social principle where people tend to be really, really polite. For example, when you are a guest your host might offer you something, you should always reply with “Nah, merci”, which means “no thanks”. Don’t worry, they will make the offer again and you can then accept it.
• Blowing your nose in public is rude Blowing your nose might sound natural but don’t do it when you are in public in Iran. If you do it, you will get some very ugly looks.
