bfjava- I know Iran is wonderful!! I wish I could go there so badly!
But my dad hasn’t gone back since he came here after the revolution (1979) and he doesn’t want to support the gov’t. Plus, I guess that there would be many complications (extra papers needed etc) b/c my mom is American and not Muslim, so she would not be recognized as legally married to my dad by the Iranian gov’t. I have so many family members over there that I haven’t seen! I pester my dad about going so often… we have a lot of family friends who go back, but another problem is that if we go, it is impossible to go for like a week… you need a month so that you can see everthing that you want to. and w/ my parents’ careers, it is very difficult to set that amount of time for a vacation.
hence my inability to travel to Iran was a very passionate topic for me to write about for my college essays.
