Anyway, I recently had a short trip to Tehran,Iran. That's where I'm originally from, that's where I was born. It had been almost ten years since my last visit. The nature of the trip was pure pleasure :) and indeed I enjoyed every minute of it. The Dubai - Tehran fligh was a bit shorter than 2 hours and the best part: my sit was in the front part of the plane, the part they call.... business class ...lol. Afte
r the landing, I passed the pass-control (fortunately, no problem there) and went out to get a cab. I took a cab directly to my parent's place. Since no one lives there anymore I had to go up to one of our neighbours who's in charge of the entire building to get our keys. The apartment was dusty and had been empty for a long time. A few hours later, one by one my cousins and friends who were aware of my arrival came to see me and after lots of huging, talking and remembering the old memories , they started cleaning the apartment (trust me, they insisted) and... finally turned the empty apartement into a club ;))) I think we were up until 4 in the morning, drinking, dancing and having fun.
A few days
later, my parents finally arrived from Sweden, and man!!, I was happy to see them. Even though, I've lived independent for the past 10 years, I still miss them a lot. After their arrival, the atmosphere of our home was different. Most relatives, old and young ones came to our home to pay a visit. It just felt great seeing the family, tal
king about the old days, and getting to know my own roots better. It was lovely and at the same time strange to see my cousins who in my memories were small children becoming young men and beutiful ladies. Some of them I hadn't met before, but somehow they all knew me. Overall it was a great experience and I hope to find more time to do it again soon. My cousins promised to come for a visit to Dubai. Let's see if they keep their promise or not!
