As my first international visit, I don’t have much experience to match it up to but one thing I am sure of is that it will always be an incomparable experience for me when in Azerbaijan. Sheki was a city waiting for me. With its light, it’s green, its people, food, and walks. I wish I could visit it right now with the longing I feel for it as of this moment. It would be truly rewarding to have that nostalgic feeling fulfilled. After a year, I miss it more today than I did yesterday.
