Riding through Iran on a small motorcycle as British person.

I like this conversation, wish we could talk in person. > Look, I happen to have a very high opinion of Iranians and Iranian society. I think you are one of the most sophisticated people in the world Thank you. I don't have such high opinion we're quite average, but thanks. You are absolutely right that my observations are only a tiny fraction and quite subjective. But that doesn't mean they can be fully dismissed. Go to youtube and search for Americans or European's impressions of Iran when they visited. Some of them are at very rural parts [0], and yet, they are so warmly welcomed. And don't be fooled. Iranians can be horrible people. Just see how we treat Afghans. It's pretty damn embarrassing. But to Americans, I've never heard a single bad experience from a European/American in Iran. From reading your posts, I'm pretty much sure we're on the same page. Except that it implies that you think Iranian working class do hate america, whatever that means, and that doesn't seem aligned from what I experienced or from what I've heard from other people's experiences. [0] [this video] This is a great example of a visitor going through "children of heaven" class of Iran. There are countless examples of this.
