According to SAEDNEWS, Recently, a video featuring an Australian tourist has been circulating on social media, where he shares his thoughts about Iran and the behavior of its people. This traveler points out some interesting observations that highlight the challenges that tourists may face while visiting Iran.

According to this tourist, his biggest dilemma during his trip to Iran, after grappling with the "Taarof" that is an inseparable part of everyday life for Iranians, is the plethora of zeros found on banknotes. He explains that the abundance of zeros confuses him and makes financial calculations quite difficult.

The practice of offering and insisting on something, known as "taarof," is seen as a way to show respect and friendliness in social interactions, and it may not be very understandable for those unfamiliar with Iranian culture.
