WHY WE LOVE IRANIANS SO MUCH? | FILMED IN BATUMI, GEORGIA
I will reveal how our second encounter with Iranians happened and you will realise for what reasons we love them so much. :DD This happened to me and my lovely girlfriend @Kamile during our around the world trip on September 2016.
As I already mentioned, it was our second encounter with Iranians. The first one happened in Nevsehir, Turkey. More about it -> DOES COUCHSURFING WORK IN TURKEY?. We reached Georgia after around 6 or 7 weeks since we left home. Traveling to Georgia was not in our plans in the beginning. We did it, because in the Iranian embassy in Trabzon we were told we will have to wait for our visas for about 10 more days. Lithuanians don't need a visa to go to Georgia for up to 3 months, so it was a perfect opportunity to visit one more amazing country.
The time has come to tell you the story how we met those guys. :DDD We were lying on the beach and eating hazelnuts we got from one driver on our way here. Suddenly, we saw 5 cheerful men. After a minute one of them came to ask for a lighter. Of course we didn't have one, because we don't smoke. :))) We started chatting and soon we realised they were from Tehran - the capital city of Iran. "Are you serious? We love Iranians!" we said and this was the beginning of a strong friendship. We just didn't know it yet. :DDD
Shahram, Jalal, Mojtaba, Amir and Naser were on their vacation. Georgia is one of a few countries, where Iranians don't need visa too. Soon we were invited for lunch. It was a honor for us of course. The lunch was Iranian style. It's unbelievable how delicious it was. ;ooo
We built our tent in a campsite next to them. Batumi is perfect for budget travelers, because they offer lots of camping space completely for free. You have to pay only for a parking lot if you have a car. We were invited for dinner too. Azerbaijani Mehdi joined us. He came to Batumi with his almost antique Russian car. I remember when my dad had one. This one was surprisingly well maintained.
As you already saw in the video, Iranians started to dance. We had a lot of fun. Even the next day we were still laughing when they left. :DDD Those guys were truly special. They radiated such a strong positive energy, we felt like we had charged our batteries. :DDD
It was @Kamile birthday, so we went to McDonald's. I know. Not too romantic. However, it was very special McDonald's. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful McDonald's in the entire world.
When we came back we saw Shahram and Jalal were waiting for us. "That's strange" we thought. Guys told us they decided to rent an apartment and stay in Batumi for a few more days, before going home. "It's a big apartment. We have a spare room for you" they said. I can't stress enaugh how surprised we were. They invited Mehdi too.
After those few days we spent together, we exchanged our numbers and addresses and went different ways. They went back home to Iran and we hitchhiked to Kutaisi, the second biggest city in Georgia. You won't believe it. It was not the last time we met each other. :DDD It happened again when we finally reached Iran. Follow us if you want to see future videos too. :)))
I would like to say thank you to @onealfa, @steemitboard, @hackerzizon and @johndoer123 who Upvoted my previous post. :))) May the force be with you. :DDD

Awesome pictures and what an awesome story. I can see why that McDonald's would be considered the most beautiful one. Tell Kamile I said happy birthday!
Actually Batumi Mcdonald's is even nicer in reality. :))) We didn't know about it before coming to Georgia.
