This city is surrounded by stories We went to this city with a gray image of Zahdan; But a short tour of the streets and a conversation with the people showed that the reality of this city is beyond the narratives made about it in the virtual space. For us, before it was a tourist destination, Zahidan was a city whose image we saw through the lens of the media; A gray image that has been reproduced many times in cyberspace and even influenced minds. But a short tour of the city showed us another picture. You could see the vitality of the people in the streets and the color of the city was amazing, unlike what was built in our minds. Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't problems. The people of Zahdan also complained about the lack of facilities and difficulties in life; But among the conversations, the most stuck in my mind is a young driver's sentence about the events and the gangs: "Bloch deserves it; there is no need for anyone to come beg for him." _ Link
