Everyone he meets is more awesome than you can imagine.

A blogger and adventurer who travels the world on an old motorbike has just made a fascinating video about his experiences in Iran. Considering the vast majority of us have very limited knowledge of the country and are influenced heavily by negative media representation, it’s an insightful and much-needed look at the reality of life there.

 

Ed March went to Iran as part of an epic trip on a Honda C90 from Malaysia to the UK. He admits he was nervous about going, but everyone who had been said it was a wonderful country. Ed decided to go for it, and it ended up being his favorite part of the journey so far. Basically, Ed quickly discovered that Iranians are amazing people. Everyone he passes wants to give him something for free: a pen, an orange, some food, whatever. They all smile and say hello, they want to know where he’s from, they invite him to eat.

 

“Everyone acts like your friend’s grandmother,” Ed says, shocked at the sheer scale of generosity and hospitality he’s receiving. “And when I say everyone, I mean everyone.”

Positive portrayal of Iran (which looks like a beautiful country, too) is pretty much non-existent in the mainstream media. We shouldn’t be surprised to hear that Iranians are such warm and lovely folk, but years of misrepresentation have managed to persuade us otherwise. Ed, who has made a film about his trip, gives his opinion on why there is so much negative propaganda against the country. “Call me cynical,” he says, “but I think it’s so that when America does invade there’s not going to be any public resistance, because people have been conditioned to believe Iran is evil.”

 

Do you agree? Please share this interesting slice of reality in Iran. Have you ever traveled there or to another Muslim country? Did you have similar experiences to Ed March? Let us know your thoughts below!

  • It's not the US only actually it's the Zionist Cabal run by the Rothschilds/Rockefellers who don't have one of their family owned Federal Reserve Fractional Debt based Banks there yet and Iran has refused to allow it so they being the "Cabal" are upset with that.

    • I agree.....the same was with Libya....but Iran now has powerful friends, so cabal (jesuits) will not get what they want

  • Along with secret sacred societies of east and west, Iran is among the various nations we have brought together, under the umbrella of Earth Allies.....You will note that Iran stands shoulder to shoulder with Russia and China, against the evil of ISIL....That foul militancy that serves disorder and hatred....and the cabal's agenda of divide and conquer....

    Iranians have come under GFL protection since December 1980, when they were secretly threatened with neutron bomb attack by the cabal, an attack countered and neutralised by the GFL, in Rendlesham forest, East Anglia...Russia, too has come under GFL protection since that time....

    There will be no attack of a nuclear nature against Iran, or any other nation.....The cabal is powerless, though they have tried and sought to destroy Iran and Russia, several times, since that decade of granted protection.....

    Now Iran brokers peace and seeks to serve the LIGHT......to serve the GFL...in the middle east.....You will observe Iran working for peace in that region, on our behalf....against the vile  interests of the dark.....And so it is....and so it will be........

    Make a note, Iranian troops will be deployed to keep peace in Syria....In support of Assad.....In support of INTERNATIONAL LAW.....

    • instead of conquer I would say they changed that to control they don't need to conquer anything just control everything that is their sad and bad agenda the Cabal that is.  We here in the United States and I speak for myself mostly as I don't want to speak for others here as I don't know them nor if they are awake to the facts of the Secret Societies but those whom are don't fall for the Lies of those pulling the strings and know that our Govt is corrupt and not one we pick via voting it is picked for us weather we realize it or not. Kinda like the Law of Attraction it is and works regardless of that fact if we are aware of it or not.  Iran could almost be considered the I in the BRICKS group of nations who are against the Cabal.

    • I hope no harm will come to them or anyone else any more....

      • "Zanaka daon-muk" is a Sirian language phrase, to describe the special time distort technology that prevents any attempt by the Cabal to execute a successful nuclear attack, upon any surface Earth nation....So thanks Happy.....we are really confident and HAPPY that no attack on Iran will be successful....Kind regards, Drekx

  • And the Iraqi diseas-like attack seems to have opened a can of worms culminating in ISIL. This is to say that generaly, middle east is worse of now than it were 15yrs ago. So? It underscores the point: the sln to middle eastern problems can only come from middle east. This is just like the case that I hear Americans endlessly complain of problems in their own country. How would they remove the speck from middle east when a plunck was in their own eyes?

    But I thought it were obvious. You may fight with your neighbor, your brother, children, wife etc. Though a person far away may come and threaten you and create a false sense of peace in the neighbourhood, only when the neighbours sit down themselves and sort out their differences will the true peace come about. Likewise, the Iranians, Iraqis and Syrians could settle down and reach a sln on how to govern themselves peacfully, albeit it would take time till a perfect government comes, which is yet to come to any other country for that matter.
  • great vid, Happy.....this was no surprise to me for I traveled through Iran before...the people are very friendly and the women are beautiful.  The people in Iraq were like this, too...before the bombing....and Syrian people are also very friendly...

    • I have not been in these countries but in Egypt and Tunisia, and people there were also very friendly and helpful....it is such a shame that many countries have been devastated lately....let's hope that this one will not be
