Beat out by the Irish, Australians, and Canadians–respectively–Iranians made Opentravel’s “5 friendliest nations on the planet” list, ranking an appreciable and healthy placement as shomaareh (number) 4.
We can’t really complain.
We have to agree with Opentravel’s decision to include the Irish and their naturally happy faces (albeit due to overintoxification), on the list. But to give them the number one spot?

WASHINGTON, DC – As a hardcore Iranian (whatever that means) and connoisseur of all art forms, we tend to think that some Americans don’t necessarily love “eye-ran” because, well, we live in the US and read the “news” here too — and have been aware of all the negative point-of-views and dehumanizing media descriptions of our people and country – but as we knowingly spew the wrong in an attempt to defend Iran, we’re quickly righted by yet another amazing artist that manages to bridge the pseudo-facts that decorate the newspapers (and our dinner-party conversations) with the beauty of human life… as it is in Iran, and has brought us back to: love.
