Tehran: Not as Scary as You Think! 🇮🇷✨

Just spent 6 days in Tehran for work, and it shattered all my stereotypes! Here’s the real deal for future travelers: 🚗 Transportation: Wild but Cheap French car dominance: Peugeots everywhere! 🚙 Zero traffic etiquette: No stoplights, bumper-to-bumper chaos—cross roads like a local (aka aggressively). Snapp (local Uber) is super cheap: City rides: ~¥5 Airport transfer (1hr): ~¥30 Regular taxis cost slightly more but still way cheaper than China. 🍖 Food: Meat Lover’s Paradise Kebabs + fluffy long-grain rice dominate menus. Chinese options: Tuobang Restaurant nailed authentic flavors. 🏨 Accommodation Business hotels: ~¥500/night. Crucial tip: Pick a hotel with strong WiFi! Most areas have stone-age signals (WeChat pics won’t even send…). 💸 Currency & Costs 1 USD ≈ 800,000 IRR—so a 1M IRR note = ¥10. Local salaries: ~¥1K/month, yet life seems chill (gas: ¥0.5/liter!). 🤝 Local Attitudes Love for Chinese: Random hellos, a guy even walked me to my destination! But…: Avoid engaging with overly curious strangers (per our Iran-savvy boss’s warning). 🗺️ Navigation Woes Google Maps/Amap often fail due to sanctions. Snapp struggles: Manual pin-drops only—no English searches! #Tehran #IranTravel #NoFilter #TravelTruths
