I had a very interesting childhood as far as traveling and seeing the world. My parents were the first among relatives to get a college degree. My dad worked for the bank and my mom taught geology 6 tabiei in high school. they put me in Andisheh (Don Bosco) school. Same school where Firouz Naderi went and i was also classmate with Omid Kordestani the google guy (here in college as well). Don Bosco was a catholic priests school but 80% of the students were muslims but we had many Armenians, Jews and Assyrians as well. The school academically was average (nothing like Alborz) but we spent half a day studying variety of subjects in English. My young parents wanted to see the world so they took me everywhere with them. My uncle was a student in West Germany before I was even born so we would go to Germany every summer instead of shomal but we did not have enough money. I have traveled to Germany as a child three times on a bus (TBT), train & private car or a combination of the three. We would send a small amount of money ahead of time so that my uncle could buy a beat up VW which was often broke down and I remember vividly being towed all over place. Small VW could not carry 3 of us and the luggage comfortably so we had stuff on barband I used to sit on top of a suitcase inside the car. I don't think there is a country in Europe that I have not seen including Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and East Germany. Later in life I really appreciated that my parents did all that even though on the surface it seemed stupid and not economically wise. Any way good times during childhood 

I am not sure may be before this. Here is the original version with Shohreh & Farrokhzad in Iran
