The USA ranked fifth in terms of the point count, although the IPhO doesn't officially pay attention to country rankings.

We finished the day with celebrations and a dinner in a public garden under the stars.

Now the leaders are trying to pack all of our recent acquisitions- including some Persian Carpets- in time for our bus departure to Tehran.
