Part Three: A Friend indeed! From airport to moving to our own App.

It's said that a friend in need is a freind indeed. Amir and his wife, Forough, are friends indeed. We arrived in Calgary airport and found Amir waiting for us. He took us to their home were Forough had prepared dinner. This was the first time Maryam and I were visiting Forough. We really were feeling that we may be a load on them. But we were thinking, "OK, it's just a night and we will leave to our own house tomorrow". So we enjoyed the delicious dinner and soon went to bed in the hope that tomorrow we will get our luggage. But the thing didn't go all well . The day after I registered the course, opened bank account and did many other things with the help of Amir. I believe if he wasn't with us, It would take a month to realize how to do those things. Unfortunately our luggage didn't come for five days. We had to go to airport several times and finally we got all but one which came almost a week later.During these days Amir and Forough were so kind to us. With their help we find a Russian guy who was moving to South Africa and had a moving sale. We bought almost all we needed include TV, bed, Sofa, a good bike, microwave oven, two chairs and many other tiny things we needed. The guy was going to flight to Johanesburg to manage things befor taking his wife there. So, we agreed to take bed, chairs and a small extra TV and wait for him to come back and give us the sofa and the big TV and other stuff. We rent a car and took things to our appartment which Amir had rented for us. After five days we moved to our own appartment. Our life in Calgary started.When I think back about the things went on those five days, I really wonder how we could manage all those things without helps of Amir and Forough. That's why it's said,"A friend in need is a Friend indeed".
