[Editor's note: This is the first post in a new series here at the notebook called "Lines of the Week." Each week we'll going through all the blogs at Matador and posting our favorite lines. Bigup to Rob Gain for being the very first.]

Earlier this week, new Matador community member Rob Gain published a blog called An American in Iran that will shatter preconceptions of what travel in Iran is like.

As usual, it seems like the best places to go are the ones we’ve been misguided about.

    Thank you! I lived in Tehran and saw much of the country in the 12 years I was there…the people are gracious and they have always liked Americans…the hardliners are a vocal minority.
