about

Anybody that has ever traveled via FRANKFURT airport knows that even for a grown-up able to speak the language this place is intimidating. Now imagine an insecure teenager, separated from his family and not able to communicate trying to find his departure gate in time. I still remember the anxiety that overcame my entire chest.
I was numb and all surrounding voices were reduced to a remote white noise as I was roaming around trying to orient myself. It was the ultimate feeling of being helpless and forlorn. Prior to my departure in Tehran, my uncle gave me a 20 DM bill, just in case, I got lost so I could contact someone. But how should I use the public phone that only took coins with a bill? I was terrified.
As I was wandering around I suddenly perceived a few Persian words and knew this was probably my only chance to avoid an upcoming catastrophe. I pushed my fears with all the power I had left to the side and tried to locate the source of the landsmen that I had just heard. Suddenly nobody spoke Farsi around me anymore and I started to believe that I had had some kind of acoustic illusion.
But then I saw them. A couple also looking around for their gate. I ran over and asked for help. They asked where my parents were and I told them that I am on my own and that my flight to West-Berlin departed very soon. They smiled and said I should just follow them as they were on the way to the same destination. I thanked them a few times and made sure I didn’t lose them again.
I remember sitting in the PAN-AM plane, super thirsty from all the stress and not getting any drinks as I thought I had to pay and at the same time happy that I had managed to get the plane.
