There is one thing that surprised me a lot. How everyday life seems
normal under such a ferocious regime. Let me explain. The
friends we met in Iran have a job and spend time
with family and friends. Nothing different from my routine (even
though most of the people of my age I met were already married and
some had children).
At the same time they constantly live on the edge of danger. Being,
in a more or less evident way, opponents to the regime, their lives
risk being spoiled at any moment. Maybe because they wrote something
wrong, for those who are journalists, or maybe because they simply
participated in a demonstration.
It is something you do not realize as a tourist. You have to speak to
the (good) people.
