We could be out of Iran due to social, political or even personal reasons, but we could miss it for no specific reason. I don't know but it sometimes occured to me it was something hormonal (I didn't say that , did I?). I mean, for instance, I could be driving 8 o'clock in the morning on the road and just miss having a sandwich in a sandwich shop in Tehran, or simply miss being on holiday in Iran.
This might happen a lot more when you have just arrived to the new country and you have sort of settled down.
Sometimes you might get a burst of feeling for no specific reason; you might miss a busy place in your city or just miss a person who had a grocery shop round the corner to your house or simply food.
I sometimes wanted to do everything I could to be in Enghelab square in Tehran, go to one of those sandwich shops and order a sandwich.
When this happened to me, and if a computer was closeby, I would jump on Google and watch pictures of different areas of Iran or basically google the name of the street and see what it looked like.
What do you do when you miss home?
