Summary/Abstract: Entering the former American Embassy for the first time was like going into a haunted house. It was grey and cold. There were bars on the inside of all the glass parts, cables hanging from the ceilings and rooms we were warned not to enter. In these kinds of moments, I always seem to observe from a part deep within myself, perceiving the people and situation around me to be rather disconnected. The blending in comes later, when things start to become familiar – after I have walked through those hallways often enough.
