The Summary
Iran has in general a pretty negative image thanks to its governemnet and the presentation of the country in the Western media, there's not much doubt about that. But how are the real Iranians? What me and my friends experienced on a 2 weeks roundtrip in this country was an overhelming hospitality, welcoming smiles and curiosity for foreign visitors. Bush's axis of evil? Haven't seen that one on the streets of the Iranian cities.
