@oneup Actually, I did plenty of research beforehand so I was expecting lots of warm hospitality, beautiful architecture and somewhat dangerous driving. But when I actually got there, the hospitality was not wow but fair - just like any other big cities, and architecture was not anything too spectacular either apart from the UNESCO sites. Traffic was nowhere horrible either and I couldn't really understand why the grave warnings of reckless Tehrani drivers. All in all it was a wonderful trip though and I really enjoyed myself.
Totally worth the time and money invested. Experience of a lifetime :)
I'm sure :) Can i ask, what were your expectations before you went there and how did your expectations match up to reality?
