    I was alone at home in France, working on my second year exam in History of Architecture, because I failed it in July.

    My best friend was in Turkey at the time and I was worried the event could trigger a World scaled retaliation against Muslims countries so I called my best friend parents to check if he was okay.

    My dumbass didn’t know Turkey was a (very) laic country back then. Nor any knowledge about Muslim culture really.

    I had another friend in New York too at this time, but I couldn’t reach him, neither his parents who just moved from their house, so I had to wait a whole week to hear about him.

    I can still visualize the room, the colors, the furnitures.
