“I like this place because it's like my home..😘😘”

— Ali Zafar

“It was one of the most difficult times of my life, but over time it became one of the most beautiful memories.
I loved this place a lot, not because it's beautiful, no... it was very basic and not so great... but I made new friends there and met old friends, and I lived with them during about a month.”
كانت من اصعب أيام حياتي ولكن مع مرور الوقت اصبحت من أجمل الذكريات أحببت هذا المكان كثيرا ليس لانه جميل لا ...بل كان عادي للغاية وليس جيد كفاية ....ولكنني حصلت على اصدقاء جدد ورأيت اصدقاء قدامى فيه وسكنت معهم لفترة شهر تقريبا
