There's a show on PBS that I enjoy watching called Rick Steves' Europe, but he also travels to other places. I just got finished watching a trip he made to Iran. He visited many of the major cities, small towns and even the rural countryside. It was amazing to see how curious, generous and friendly the people were of him and the United States. Several people there noted how our two governments haven't been able to get along, but several people said that they quote "love Americans and the United States". He talked with people on the street, in shops and posed with them in pictures. The people there are really no different than us.
You can read about it at the link below. I found it fascinating how nice the people were and how ordinary their everyday life was.
