Until a few years ago, and in my ignorance, I didn’t know that Persia became Iran.
A good friend of my ex went on a holiday with myself and friends, and she always describes herself as Persian, despite being born in Pakistan. Possibly the most intelligent person I’ve ever met...spoke several languages, and her knowledge of ME affairs was truly amazing.
Rather than go down the local bars in Spain as is my normal CV, evenings were spent in cerebrally challenging ( for me) discussions on ME religions, politics, social etiquette and made me wish I’d had the courage to travel in that part of the world 40 years ago.
