- This is the video update for me riding through Iran, on my journey from Malaysia to the UK on my Honda C90.
This video may be long-winded but it needs to be to truely show just how awesome Iran is!
I'm so glad I went through there and not avoid it like the newspapers and government try to make you do.
Don't forget to go to www.c90adventures.co.uk for all my other video updates, pictures and spoof comedy videos.

12:23 "Have a good day, good night, good everyday"
Nicest thing i've ever heard.
+Lasmamoe Made me think of Jim Carrey's movie The Truman Show: Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!
+Lasmamoe me too
exactly
Thank you sir, as an Iranian thank you for challenging the view of the world about Iran.
I have a plan to come and explore all corners of Iran. I hear it's the most hospitable humans on earth
Ali Fazel... i think the vast majority in the West have caught on to the fact the Main Stream Media are lying, manipulative scum.
It's not the people many of us dislike, but the government.
As a military brat I grew up in Turkey, the people were great. The government, not so much.
The world view isn’t the international media view. Every Iranian I’ve met was lovely.
Still alive?
I work 60 hour weeks and lead a simple life when I'm in the UK. If you don't buy a new car, fancy clothes and have a mortgage it's amazing how much money you can save :)
Hi mate, do you live near Exeter by any chance?
Yes very true . When I was a young lad I worked in the lakes washing pots for 3 yrs and saved enough to travel around the world for 2 yrs on a budget
What you do now though? You have the mindset of a winner.
Iranian's look like the most friendly people in the world, I can't believe how accommodating and welcoming they were, it's sad they're painted in a bad light.
Iranians are awesome, they really do get a bad rap for no real reason
I married one :-)
Zedd0z its actually because they decided 60 years ago that they will pursue their own geopolitical interests rather than be a vassal state of the west.
you are right in iran they have tarof search on youtube and u will find it they ar very selfless
Yes, they are lovely.
Please consider that people of Iran have been through a lot recently; revolution, eight years war with Iraq (Iraq invaded Iran), devastating sanctions against Iran which still persist, with a huge toll on middle class, yet Iranians have, for the most part, preserved their humanity - I assure you if many other counties in the world had gone through as much suffering as Iranians have, they would have devoured themselves as well as any other person in their path. Iranians by nature are accommodating, proud and welcoming. They prefer to offer best food, best bed, best every thing to their guest than their own family. They see their guest as their responsibility. Of course there are some old and new lingering issues with Iranian society, but I am certain they will resolve those issues sooner or later; that's the way of old civilizations :) Cheers
+Mohammad Petgar I just hope that they can stay that way and not get swept along on western consumerism and greed. Would love to visit there some day.
+Mohammad Petgar Well said sir!
+Mohammad Petgar Just to satisfy my curiosity, if I were to chose to travel there, how would I, as an American Vet, who loves food,history,different ideas/perspectives, languages and other cultures( and a small budget :D ) be treated. I got a good idea from watching the video itself, as I understand the British kid in the video somewhat, IMO The Brits are alittle more adept culturally.... whereas, correct me if I'm wrong, a typical American tourist is viewed, as rather ------- I don't know fill in the blanks, I've heard them all. I've been to Portugal, Spain, Mexico, Canada and all across the Untied States and sometime in the future I would like to travel.... well, "somewhere". I'm open to replies and suggestions, that are "helpful" to this dialogue, whatever they may be.
+Jay Blankenship Jay people of iran and even the gvt has nothing against american people.it's the politicians who hate each other for obvious reasons.i won't say every one in iran will be friendly but most of them will be and being unfriendly does not mean hostility it just means not free food :).so travel to iran without any hesitation
Hi Jay, as masoodtaheriy said, people of Iran do make a distinction between US foreign policy vs. American people. In fact, as you know better than I do, many Americans, even veterans, don't like their government policies either. After all, the right to carry guns was primarily for the protection American people felt necessary against the big brother. I am certain you would find many articles of Americans traveling to Iran and coming back with wonderful memories. You are a man of action, I am sure you will cherish the experience....cheers
What a wonderful, heart-warming video! Loved watching every second of this!
Same!
I also couldn't even say it better then him 😊❤
My husband forwarded this to me and I plan on passing it on to my colleagues to use in their 11th grade World Lit./World Studies classes. I think this is a great tool to use with students to counter the dehumanization of the Iranian people by American Media/govt., but also to show the cynicism in which people in other western countries view the United States. A wonderful film. Honest, beautiful, and funny.
Great idea!
The people are wonderful, but the regime is pure evil. Their history of hostage taking and human rights violations is not a media construct or cynicism sadly.
@@useyourbrainplease7311 there have been so many ugly acts of colonialism and systemic theft by govts of USA, UK etc; these historic (and ongoing sanctions continue to be) ACTS OF PURE EVIL perpetrated against the people of Iran
@@williamshafer3199 Sanctions are nothing of the sort. There is no divine right to free trade. Particularly for regimes that have publicly declared the destruction of our closest ally to be their biggest foreign policy objective. The Iranian people are the innocents in all of this, but if sanctions weren't an option, there would be open war and the collateral damage of human life would be far worse than the collateral damage of the denial of access to foreign trade.
@@useyourbrainplease7311 Sanctions are genocidal and indeed an act of war. They are meant to hurt ordinary people, here, a scheme to set up by the people in Washington to use ordinary people as some kind of cheap flesh for reaching political goals.
And yes, access to medication and food is a human right.
AMAZING ! I would have never thought of Iran being like this, thank you for the great videos !
DUDE!!!! great to see you here!
Don't fall for American propaganda, they want you to see them as evil.
@@remasher They were once very western. Women where free to wear pretty much whatever they wanted. No so much now.
@@davec.3198 so?
@@remasher it’s not us they keep terrorizing we just respond to it
I've seen this video about thirty times now. I go back to it whenever I miss my country. Beautiful vid, Ed, love ya man. Cheers.
Freedom for Iran and Iranians and the hole world.
Wow, everybody looks so friendly
Iranians are some of the most kind people out there.
So good to see the many instances of hospitality you encountered. We shouldn't believe all the negative shit we hear about this part of the world from our mainstream media, this is so often twisted and untrue. We need peace & understanding more now than ever before. I salute your balls mate.
guys just take a look at this book. very touching. all about Iranian people.
www.amazon.com/Limu-Shirin-bitter-Iranian-Revolution/dp/1948321734/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515763602&sr=8-1&keywords=limu+shirin
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taarof i'm almost worried ed was inadvertently being rude by accepting all the hospitality
I also salute your balls!
Have in mind "this part of the world" is overly generalized. Iranians are nothing like the arabs.
5 years on and your comment is more revelent than ever ☺️
What a beautiful country. Very kind people very clean .great food. Wish I could go there.
Iranian food is wonderful!
this video brings make my hope in humanity
Thank you Reddit for recommending this. I was smiling all through the video. People of Iran we love you.
Ed, its Sunday, April 11, 2021 at 2:43 in the morning.. Ive been benge watching your travels for about 6 hours now :) Loving Every Minute of them! Wished I was there to ride with you...but then.. its wouldn't be solo adventures.. :) I can't thank you enough for sharing this with all of us.. Showing just how simple it is to take a journey.. and how simple people and caring many people around the world really are. Awesome job! Ok .. back to the videos now :) (NC, US)
Haha, glad you've enjoyed the videos so much. And I'm humbled you think they're good enough to deprive yourself of sleep for 🙂
Im going on limb here , I started watching "Itchy Boots" when she went ot Iran and the video is very awsome .I recently came acroos C90 Adventures" when Noraly- had the acciednt in Nevada and C90 Came to her rescue,and from watching him in his journeys i can see where she got the idead of traveling all over the world and I'll gon on and say she problably had a chat with him about his travels to Iran- Itchy Boots was embraced by the Iranian People so much it was a eye opener for me - Brainwashed by the media like evryone else Irainian People are insanely friendly, I 'll try to make a visit in near future if posible to Iran Love the people and their hospitality .
I discovered your channel today. I'm riding the Mongol Rally next year on a 125 and had no interest going through Iran until this video. Just goes to show how the media can butcher such beautiful cultures
@@chetori__ there are countless videos of riders who had similar experiences which is only proves other wise but that's not would a kid who probably never even been in different timezone would know .
@Jake Shattuck wait, I was going to say, "stfu," but I need to practice Iranian friendliness. Please be aware that your comment demonstrates to what extent the media has impacted you, and it was unbecoming of you. Live with a good heart, brother.
15 years ago I knew an Iranian family in the UK, we both ran local businesses. The Dad told me Iran was like this, it is nice to see it is so. I want to visit some day by bike
You should. It's an amazing place. I recommend going with someone though as you can get lost and English isn't exactly the best spoken there aha
+Rob W totally, im iranian in denmark
friends would literally be force fed our dinner, and that shit made them come regulary :)
Amazing, I’d like to see how friendly British people would be if an Iranian was touring the uk with an overloaded old C90
They would send him to Rwanda...
@@peterlabiak1051 the government might try but a better indicator of Britain is the people who rally round and help prevent the storm troopers from seizing people.
I'd like to see that too, I think they would be pretty helpful. People can be a bit funny in the south of England but I think in the North and Wales, Scotland Ireland etc people do help out and like a chat. Also there'd be a constant stream of "I used to own one of these and did x y or z on it" at every fill up.
@@dunk8157 🤣🤣 I am from the South.
@@richb5248 Haha that explains it :) (joking) I'm sure you would be friendly too.
This has given me a completely different outlook on Iran as a country.
You are very correct with your final statement. The foreshadowing..
What you say is so true! Even as an American I was treated with such kindness and love, I would go back any time and hope to someday. What a beautiful country.
"Over 15 min long." I wish it was even longer. These videos are great, great work!
Thanks for showing the warm hearts from Iran, something you don't see often in mainstream media.
Love it Ed. my sister was seeing an Iranian guy for 3 years and it broke my heart and my whole family's heart when they broke up, he was by far the most genuine guy I have ever had the p,erasure to meet. Even now, 5 years later, I still travel 25 miles to go and see him and just sit and have coffee in his little coffee shop in Solihull
Changed my view on Iran anyway...
This guy isn't exaggerating or being PC. This is exactly my experience in Iran. Everyone I spoke to was unbelievably helpful, friendly and generous. They were also overwhelmingly very knowledgeable and keen to discuss world affairs, arts, music, literature etc - even those who've been relatively poorly educated.
I love the friendly approach and the spirit of adventure. All power to you sir!
Now, just relax there, young fellow! I agree that we should send power to the man in the film but certainly, one must save some power for one's self. Belief in one's self is the first big step on the long road to spiritual discovery. We could all be a little more spiritual discovery in our lives.
If you love the spirit of adventure, why not consider a completely natural, mind altering trip to the desert? Ciao.
Abraham Nixon all our selves are spiritually unified, i am in the desert, the air, the sun, i am everywhere
Tobi The Viking lol
I watched this twice in one sitting. Brilliant. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. It's a shame, the propaganda surrounding this beautiful place and her people.
Thank you for this video, i randomly ended up here. They were offering you food mostly to show their hospitality and it's considered rude if you don't accept the food. it's a lot different from the west. Being friendly to guests is our culture, you will see same hospitality in Pakistan / Qatar / Behrain / UAE etc. Syria / Iraq / Afghanistan were the same but there's nothing much left there to visit.
i love how there is no one hitch hiking or no homeless people because everyone takes care of each other. Good people.
Ciber thanks to Obama we are given 2 options a failure of negotiations and a US led invasion and you will see both homeless orphans and hitch hikers, or on the other hand legitimizing the cruel theocracy which keeps the people poor by robbing them of their money and giving protestors the highest execution rate in the world. The people deserve so much better and every time the people try to develop, weapons and energy companies, work to keep the people poor and secure extremists to rule them to sell weapons. the US just recently removed an opposition terrorist organization "the Mek" working to install them into power or use them in their crimes against humanity.
Ciber this Iranian woman was surprised at the smell of piss on trains (el) in Chicago
I’ve been fortunate enough to travel the world over many years with my job. Iran is by far my favourite destination. The people are so kind and friendly. The history so deep. It was wonderful to watch this video. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed.
This was a breath of fresh air. Great visuals, great narration, great people. Makes me want to get a bike and start exploring.
Loved this video. Brought back lots of memories. I rode solo through Iran for 3 weeks on a Yamaha RX135 in 2009 (the whole trip was Kathmandu to London in 4 months). I couldn't agree with you more about the wonderful people of Iran - and the freedom of being on a small bike. It was my favourite country too. Everyone picnics and is always asking you to join their family picnic. I also stayed in strangers houses and was offered wonderful fresh fruit breakfasts. You can't help but love the humanity of the place.
This has really changed my perspective on Iran. It's crummy what they have endured, but I am thrilled to see they have so much love in their hearts.
One of my favourite places i have ever visited. I think i've been there 5 times now though never on a bike... may have to rectify that one day. great video, thank you so much
5:33 "Persepolis... this kicks Stonehenges ass"
made my day :D thanks for this great video, my to do/visit list has just grown.
Wow, I never would have known. Iran seems wonderful.
For 10 years ago that video is really good. It still tells a story and that is all that matters.
as an israeli i obviously heard many bad things about iran from the media but than i worked in construction with this iranian guy in canada and he was very friendly and chill. thanks for showing this side of iran.
Absolutely brilliant, just watched it again, made me smile and laugh all the way through. They are such lovely people!
I have always dreamed of going to Iran. This makes me want to go even more. 💕
Watched the whole vid with a smile on.my face. Thank you for making this.
Thank you for making such a wonderful clip, it's truly wonderful to see other people's experiences from my country, especially on a C90. There couldn't be a better PR video for Iran than this video. Thank you
Oh, I'm on clouds after watching this video :D Thanks for sharing & If you ever come back more free food is waiting for you :))
I never post comments on videos, but I have to say, your videos are some of the best I've ever seen on TH-cam. Really enlightening, entertaining and inspiring stuff. Thanks so much for producing these! Hope you keep riding and making these travelogues.
We have only just seen your trip through Iran and agree with everything you said about the country and the people. We visited in 2015 and it remains one of our best trips ever. We also were greeted with friendliness everywhere we went. Thank you.
Once again, one sees there is a real difference between people and governments. When you get down to it, most people just want the same things: a job, a family, and time to partake in the world with those around them. Thank you for showing us this side of an old and accomplished society.
A very different and refreshing video from the usual ones. I think everyone who goes to Iran is pleasantly surprised. The country is clean and beautiful and the people are simply wonderful
I just smiled all they way through this.
My wife is 1/2 Iranian and her father is from Tehran. Her father is the most content person I have ever met. He is never in a bad mood. I am not saying he doesn't get upset with certain things that happen but he has never treated me with an ounce of disrespect or ever presented himself in a sloppy/tired fashion. I've also had the chance to meet her aunts, uncles and cousins and they are all equally hardworking, content and respectful. I hope this video helps to shed light on the fact that Iranian people are not how they are depicted on American TV. And it turns out their food is AWESOME!
Blown me away, What an amazing place!
Met an Austrian bicyclist years ago who was completing an around-the-world trip. He had stopped in the Ayatollah Khomenei's home town in Iran. He asked the AK-47-toting guards outside Khomenei's tomb if they knew where he could pitch his tent for the night. Answer: behind that very building, no problem.
Truly awesome. Exactly how I felt in the early 90s on a similar journey through Persia. I too loved that world and those incredible people. Thank you.
sp.co.nz/persia.html
What an amazing view of Iran. I would never have known these people are so friendly. Thank you for sharing this.
This video is as good as the internet gets. Thank you.
Beautiful trip through the real Iran!
Great video. As an American I really enjoyed seeing the true Iran. Beautiful country and wonderful people. Thank you for sharing this journey.
You deserve your own TV show. And it should be just like this. No music, no scripted scenes. Anthony Bourdain, watch out, dude is being real and I could watch this all day long.
I was in 84 and 85 during the first war in Iran and it is still impressing me,good remembering
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
This was absolutely wonderful. So refreshing to see the true nature of human hospitality vs. what the U.S media shoves down our throats.
Billy R Zionist US media
What the fuck is wrong with Iranians here in the states or the U.K, not friendly in the least
@@tyrant_tarantula because your people call me terrorist and treat me like shit.
@@basednerdthug5025 this lmao
they're like the last country one earth not owned by the central bank
no matter what they do they're spun as villains
stay safe out there
@@tyrant_tarantula Not so... I think you will find they are wary, after receiving so much aggression and racism aimed at them, for trying to escape with their families to a place of safety, which it transpired was a nest of vipers, waiting to strike. My computer engineer, and local chippy are both iranians, and I've had long chats with them. They are SO aware and intelligent, and totally honest and generous. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and this video portrays them absolutely.
Hi, American here. Great great great video. We should ... all... be at peace with Iran and just help heal the injustices done by both our nations and move on. This made me realize how basic we all are...we just want to live in friendship and peace. Thanks for sharing.
I love that your C90s are literally 1200 CCs smaller than my adventure bike and you properly adventure degrees beyond me. Also, Iran is one of my favoritest countries, with Isfahan being one of my favorite cities (and I've traveled to many countries). Wonderful food, beautiful friendly people, rich culture.
Dude, this video made me so, so happy. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely brilliant video loved the unbiased way you present your videos, real eyeopener just as I thought all along people are people wherever you go and Iranian people take it to the next level of friendliness
Greatest country in the world.
Arian Mas I agree. The only country with a pair of balls and a good leader. Needs some development though. I want Iran to become a nuclear superpower so that the west will leave it alone.
***** I most definitely don't.
+Don Safadi You MUST be joking
Loved your vid mate. It brought back happy memories (me and my mate rode bikes through Iran in '97 - not on GS's I hasten to add!) and we found them to be incredibly friendly just like you. It was our greatest surprise on the trip. You're a cool bloke. I like the way you're doing it. Basic. Proper. Good on yer.
Gonna watch your Indian vid now to see if, unlike the Iranian one, brings back nightmares for me.
The hospitality is incredible! This only place I've been that is nice like this, is Japan. This definitely opened my eyes on a country I knew little about.
People were so kind with you it's unbelievable! People, countryside, architecture... Iran looks really nice! I pray to God the US doesn't start yet another war in the Middle East.
When I was a student in 1983 in London, there were many Iranian students and they really were the nicest people. I remember when one of them had brought along a HUGE can of caviar and it was to be shared. Quite a memorable evening.
Wow thanks for this man! Completely smashes the typical western view.
Thank you for sharing this. The media has poisoned our perspective on these obviously very friendly people. This video shattered my stereotypes of Iranians. I'm humbled to see so much kindness, us Americans could take a lesson from this...
What a lovely, heart warming insight into that country of lovely people. I have learned from travelling and also watching travel programmes like this, that the vast majority of people in the world are friendly and willing to share what they have with strangers. In fact, I`m ashamed to say that England is far less friendly to strangers, than Iran is.
Dave Ricketts - The reason being that our zionist media presstitutes pump lying propaganda hourly, whereas Iranian media do not....
Who said "Let me control the media and I will control the herd."
A very kind and considerate people .
Bro, this was amazing! Thank u man!!! Made me even more proud to be an Iranian!
This video should have a billion views.
My nephew married a lady of Iranian descent, though she prefers Persian, and what a delightful lady she is. Their four children, my great nephews and nieces are also delightful and a credit to them both.
This is what our US New Networks need to be showing the American people, everyday we need to fill the screens with these images! We need to see the gorgeous hospitality, the kindness, the beauty and the completely opposite stereotype that many Americans have of these wonderful people! We promise we will take this country back and we will stand up for you once again! We love you and will never stop fighting for you!
Love,
Me and SO MANY American citizens.
Thank you for posting this amazing video.
Thumbed up for Pierce Brosnan's Iranian clone.
Hey mate,
I am born and living in Germany, my parents are both Iranian and I have never been to my "homecountry", somehow I learned to speak farsi (persian language) probably as an infant hearing my parents talking.
It makes me happy to see that all the things my parents have told me seem to fit my background culture.
I adore the persian culture, the land of the aryan people! And Im also very frustrated about the government which took this nation down to it's knee's.
I hope from the bottom of my heart, that it will fall. That there will be democracy and a free spirit. Where woman can dress how they want and believe in whatever thought, religion, spirit they think is appropriate to them.
I bow towards you mate, that you made that journey and gave yourself the sight of view on that country!
May there be peace on earth one day!
I really enjoyed watching your journey!
Keep it up!
***** Its still a shit government with corruption, stealing of money, and people who think its more important to lecture women to fix their hijab while people are having trouble finding food to eat in Bandar Abbas and parts of Zahedan.
***** and by the way, in 2003, we had 3 thousand centrifuges, part of this deal, we get to keep 5700. We continue nuclear research in Fordo, Arak was told to be demolished, we get to keep it now as a light water reactor. Bush wanted us to dismantle everything, now we have almost twice the amount of centrifuges that we had before and we are allowed to keep the innovations we have made. All we must do now is hope the Americans live up to their bargain. If they do not, we will go back to enriching, and kick out the inspectors. It is that simple.
+Ferkel ANGELA It seems to be very common among Iranian families for Farsi to actually be the first language they teach their children, same happened with me. However my English is much better as once I went to school etc my Farsi fell very much to the wayside. Possibly/Probably like this for other languages too but I really only know about Iranian families in the US :P
+Nader Emami Agreed bro, they destroying our original culture, and can you imagine I speak with some of those ass kissers loyal to these khalatbari mollahs and they say I am anti iranian and a traitor for speaking against IR. Disgusting people. I hate to say this but us Iranians deserve the situation we are in.
***** I bet you live in those zion owned Europe or USA and are prospering from it.
this video was ahead of its time
Just beautiful !! Thank you!
Found this video through a redditor. Thanks for sharing.
That was brilliant, as an American, I'd never think of venturing to Iran. Truth is, the people actually are good, it's the governments that muck it up. Thanks
Brook Parsons - yes the Zionist controlled Government of the US.
Which government in particular.
It's awesome looking at this video, albeit a bit old. I'm doing a trip on a Honda Dream through Vietnam and Cambodia and I wish I could take my bike all the way through back to the Netherlands. It's nice to see the real side of Iran, not many people get to see it and many often gaze at me in surprise when I tell them how hospitable they are and how beautiful the country is. Thanks for sharing!
Great video! Every western traveler to Iran says the same thing about the Iranian people, extremely friendly and hospitable. I'd love to visit someday.
I did a DNA test a while back and found out my origins are from south west Persia/Iran.
I can't wait to visit the home of my ancestors.
Keep up the good job!
where are you from?
I guess you can call me an Armenian. My family is called Mamigonian. Their origins are from south west Persia. They moved to Armenia over 2000 years ago. I was born in Beirut and currently live in Norway.
Can you elaborate what DNA testing company that was where you did your test? I have yet to find one that does DNA testing that detailed as you described.
started with the one National Geographic offers and then moved to FTDNA.com
Those tests are utter bollocks, but keep wasting your money.
Thank you c90adventures, you've created something really cool with this video. You've made an unbiased documentation of Iranian culture from a western perspective and shown how it's not as bad as we make it out to be. The whole video was entertaining and thoughtful, and I walked away from it learning something. Great job!
Iranian’s are such a gentle ppl…… God bless them, greetings from 🇲🇽!
Wow. I have never heard anyone Say such Beautiful things. Amazing Video. This should be shown in Class. Great Job.
I'm an Indian and after watching this video I seriously want to travel to Iran!
I smiled ALL the way through this. I cannot wait to visit Iran
Loved your Video. I'm old but I had the chance in the late 1970s, (1978-1979), to attend electronics school in the Navy with several Iranian International students who were brilliant. The Iranian people were funny and happy and sharing people. (one didn't get the idea of the speeding ticket, he had a glove box full of them but with Diplomatic Immunity, he didn't care....LoL) The Shaw of Iran was deposed and Ayatollah Rolah Kommeni took over Iranian government, and I lost my friends....they were all killed upon their immediate return because they shared the "Vision" of the Shaw.....You're video reminded me of their kindness, and friendliness and happiness as a people whom I knew. Thank you.
I'm so sorry to hear that 😔
I keep hearing stories from that period of time and every time they are just depressing.
Not too long ago I found a tale from a f-14 tomcat pilot who was either instructor to, or learning alongside with Iranian pilots who were going to become the first f-14 pilots and instructors for Iranian airforce. When the coup happened most of them were either killed or escaped as refugees. Same story, brilliant and super nice folk.
What a lovely video. I never knew Iran was like that. Looks so nice and the people are so nice. This just gave me an insight on how Iran really is.
Beautiful! I must go there!
Such a great peoples in Iran unlike most news news portray them to be.
Brilliant video thanks for sharing, lovely people in Iran. 👍🇬🇧
Wow!!! Thanks Ed for opening my eyes. Your trips give this cynic hope for the world.
Iran is the Canada of Asia
More like Canada is the Iran of North America.
@@mohsin3488 not sure about that when the Iranian government allows to have a Pride parade in Tehran, i will agree
It actually was the Government of Canada that perpetrated the myth that Canadians are polite and friendly in order to increase immigration and foreign travelers.
Unfortunately the opposite is more often the case .
Having traveled about 900,000 km ( On motorcycle ) in Canada and the USA ( i am Canadian ) i can confidently say Canadians only have a superficial veneer of civility.
When the chips are down and you really need help , you are ALONE in Canada . If you help someone , you will be lucky to get a " Thanks ".
I experienced more acts of random kindness in Americas heartland ( republican states ) than i can remember . People just caring for your welfare for no other reason than they had good hearts . Offers of food , lodging and even money when myself and my family had broken down in Georgia .
Sadly , this is not the case on the west and east coasts ( democrat areas ) . Interestingly it is the democrats that perpetrate the negative image of Iran .
This has been my experience over the last 50 years and it is the truth .
Maybe others have has different experiences but if you have traveled Canada and the USA generally you will be of the same opinion. ,
Woah easy nelly. With no disrespect to Iran, can no one compare to the true North strong and free. More like the Sweden of North America.
@@ethics3 I am a Canadian and agree with you. I haven't travel much in the US, but spent a fair amount if time in Texas and they are far more hospitable than Canadians.
