New year

New year, to us, may mean a lot of things; new life, new chances, new friends,...
And perhaps that's why we celebrate it happily.

To us, Iranians, new year starts when the spring starts, when the nature wakes up after those cold days of winter. And it brings hope, freshness, happiness,...

To Christians, the new year comes with cold winter. And perhaps the most beautiful thing is the snowfall which brings freezing days with, making it memorizing especially for the kids who receive great gifts from their parents.

Feliz navidad...

BURGERKING

32 years ago, when the first BURGER KING of Spain opened in 1972, there were interesting reactions (Ref: QUE!, Dec 13, 2007). Some people didn't know why they had to pay in advance, and some people where looking for spoon and forks for the sandwich!

By the way, did you know that in Spain, still fork works best and in many restaurants, you can not find spoons and forks put together? In the restaurant of our university, you can always find stainless forks and small plastic spoons.
