Firs Nineteen Day Feast in the UK

Yesterday, I went to my first Nineteen Day Feast. A Baha'i who is also studying in University of Sunderland, Fereshteh picked me up to go over to Chester-le-Street where the feast was. Went to her house first since it was still early and she cooked a wonderful dinner. She cooked a Persian dish (she's a persian), which i was familiar with, thanks to Naysan (back home in Labuan). I forgot what it was called and I forgot to ask her what it was called. If you guys know what it is please tell me, okay? Its brinjal with tomotoes and chicken, and spices which made it so mouth watering. It was accompanied with rice cooked with crispy potatos! YUMMY! Home cooked food.....:P

Fereshteh had to go pick some other Bahai's up, who were also students around this region. There was Sara from Portugal and a couple from Iran, Maryam and Fenon.

We then headed to Fereshteh's brother's house where the feast was at and met up with the other Bahai's. Kamran (I'm not sure if i got the name right), the host of the night was really hospitable and made us feel at home. We, the newbies had to introduce ourselves and tell a little bit of where we came from. After prayers and discussion, socializing with the others was fun and manage to get to know some of the people there.

I forgot to take pictures of the night until we were about to leave, so no pics this time. But i'll definitely take pictures next week when i go down to Newcastle for the youth gathering!! Looking forward to meeting up with all the other people from around this region.

till the next post, enjoy the remaining weekend, HAVE FUN!
