that kinda made me laugh actually.
what struck me the most (upleasent) when I lived in iran was the “its a jungle out there do anything to survive” bit. It seems like people are ready to the resort to the lowliest things just to get themselves to a position better in society/the workplace/school or even in family and friendly relationships.
Of course none of this is to say that Iran is a bad and unpleasent country. (only the situation its in, is) I think more than a few people will agree with me when I say that visiting Iran is actually quite entertaining and fun if you just learn to have a lot of patience.
