ZIAD IN GAZA

My dream is simple. I want to sit in one of my favourite restaurants in Gaza City, admiring the beautiful blue sea. I would order chicken pasta with lots of appetisers and a salad (you know, to stay healthy). I will be in the company of my friends, we will talk about our mundane lives, complain about our work, and discuss our favourite TV shows. I will order hot chocolate, and get surprised, like every time, when I discover how many calories it contains. When my friends leave, I will pick up my book and continue reading. All I want is a quiet day in Gaza City.
