I was born in the late 1990's. I would like to share my reflections about being an Iranian American here.
So far in my life I have been to Iran 3 times, all those times were a fun and delightful experience for me. You get to visit family and friends that you can’t see that often and by seeing how different the way of life is from the country you’ve come from. Visiting family and friends is the best part about going to Iran for me because everyone is happy and always having fun. Watching TV together, eating together, playing soccer outside together, and killing cockroaches together all as one big family.
Coming from America, Iran was a new experience for me because some foods were different, lots of cars and traffic (Tehran), stores and shops are closer together with houses, so more walking is included. A very fun time was when I went to Darband; we went and bought stuff followed by eating chelo-kabob. Overall going to Iran was probably one of the best times of my life.

Being a kid is a great time in life to be in Iran

Good job writing your blog about your fun time in Iran and I’m looking forward to the next one.
