Culture Shock! Iran fills in the gaps while taking an honest look at both Western and Iranian stereotypes. From candid reflections on modern Iranian society to painstakingly detailed explanations of traditional Persian etiquette, Maria O'Shea presents an essential volume of insights and advice for anyone planning to visit or live in Iran. While Iran is certainly not among the "easiest" countries to experience, a fascinating world awaits those willing to take the challenge.
