At the beginning of my trip To Iran, I kept saying "As-salamu alaykum" as a habit from Pakistan and also considering it is the Islamic Republic. The less I knew it is actually not welcomed by the local people and in some cases could be offending. I do apologize for not knowing better since the beginning. After a few more Vlogs, I will start using just "Salam" as the short version of "hello". 🇮🇷

Yes u have to b very perticular as u move to different different countries one has to adjust accordingly 🇮🇳

[@oriy294]

Don't worry. Feel free.😊 Some rules of thumb: -All islamic countries use *salam alikoom* . -Iran use *salam* . -Rest of the world has its international language, English: *Hi* , *Hey* , *Hello* ,...👋 As you know.👍🏻🥰💙🙏🏻💙

[@SonofChrist77]

Salam, simply meaning “peace” is a shortened version of Assalam Al-aikoum from Arabic peace be upon you. Arabic version itself comes from Shalom Alaikhom from Hebrew of the same meaning. You can use Salam or Dorood (meaning Greetings) as everyday greeting in Erān. Hope this helps 😊

Iran is definitely not third world country. It might not be as developed as western Europe, but it is much more developed than India. You can find trash in middle of NYC or Philly, but that would not make them third world cities.

"Asalaamo-Alaykom" (Arabic) is used mainly by Arabs and none-Persian Muslims, in Iran we only say "Salaam" or "Doroud", followed by "Khoobin? or khoob hastin?" meaning "Are you well?"

Salaam is also Arabic.

@IDL2483ATBI.... I didn't mean other muslims don't use it, I meant Iranians don't use it, they simply say SALAAM, and KHODA-HAFEZ.

Infusion of colours just what I needed to perk me up from COVID in prep for Eid, which is tomorrow. Eid Mubarak Davud, folk in Iran and everyone that is celebrating Eid. This video was way too short Davud, it was so colourful, vibrant and quaint at the same time. Oozes character as for the rubbish it’s not that bad but in comparison to what we our experiencing - we get lots of mattresses fly-tipped! Anyway cheered me up and I’ll think I’ll go for a short walk my first in two weeks, next week we have a heat wave coming towards us so will have to stay indoors. Speaking of which is it not hot in Iran at the moment? You were asking for Iranian coffee?

[@caroltafalla]

@@e.c3734 Shah Ismail was an Iranian and even Neo-Turkish language was created in Iran in Seljuk dynasty, some Kings with Mongolian roots like Malik Shah wanted to be Iranian and converted to Islam and thats why your language in Turkey has many Persian and Arabic words.

[@FBab-jb4lp]

David Just to let you know you were not well received among iranians because you come across rude and arrogant to them I might add unfortunately you don't bring up great in people which is what you need to make a video interesting to watch , Iranians are amazing people and they are hospitable but I can see they are garded and reserved against you so that's a sign that you didn't make a right connection with people in Iran . The fact is Turkish girl would have been a right choice in Turkey not in Tehran which that point didn't help you so much ... The fermented fruits that you called weird its been around for thousands years and I have seen in many other videos that people giving a lot of complements because it's natural and healthy. I have watched Mark Viens iran s series which has been filmed over 2 weeks in different locations in iran , he was absolutely amazing because he knows how to respect the different culture around the world and make a right connection with people that s why he has 5 million followers. Please watch it you might learn something

[@kanank13]

you may be partially right. My guess is that Davud's pony tail hairdo may be non-islamic for someone who looks like one of them esp in a strict islamic country of Iran. I don't think Iranaians in that locale understand the true meaning of weird. But I agree with you the usage of that word may be insensitive to some viewers. BTW, the guy Mark Wiens has a good personality but he eats ten people's food in one sitting and I find totally disgusting esp in these times wherre lot of people are starving and going hungry. To me that is beyond insensitive and down right shockingly disgusting.

[@Bluebirdiran]

Unfortunately most Azarbaijani people are fed a lot of negative propaganda about Iran by the Aliev government. This has roots in the history and has to do with where Azarbaijan belonged to, which is Iran of course. So to stop people from thinking about the past they have induced the people to look down on Iran and made them believe that all Azeri people in Iran are longing to join little Azerbaijan in the north. It's like Mexico trying to belittle the US and thinking that all Americans are longing to join little Mexico.

David, why durband is named durband? It means door closed. But why city is named like that

[@Hermesborugerdian]

This “Dar” means “inside”. It’s different than the Persian word for door“Dar”. And “Band” in this context means “tied” instead of “closed”. The name is referring to the location at which Darband is situated (in a canyon).
