Some impressions of Iraq
Why did I go to Iraq? Well, I simply like the unusual but it's also because I'm heavily addicted to the middle east. I like their food and girls. As a kid I travelled around europe with two exceptions like Dubai and Tunisia. Last year I started my own jou...
I was transfixed
This was a fantastic ten minutes for me looking at all the pictures. What a different environment. Thank you so much for posting them.
Thank you for the background and docu-post...
Ambitious travel plans... good luck with that. I particularly enjoyed the street scenes. I guess one could read the street scenes in different ways. For me, I just wanted to look without any personal interpretation... to enjoy one by one... the young boys...
Certainly I'll go again because I didn't get to visit Kurdistan Region.
I'm a tough guy so dirt and filth won't put me off easily.
Thank you so very much for these photos. I throughly enjoyed them and your commentary. I am not familiar with these sights at all and very much

I'm glad you liked it!
Amazing report!
So fascinating. Some pictures remind me of Syria, wonderful people. Love the first buffalo photo. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for your superb report
about a trip, not many of us would make. Very interesting to see your photographs and hear your story. Personally I would not walk around in any Middle East country, except the UAE, with short sleeves, just because it is not common to do so. I have been i...
Amazing pictures that show us the other side
.. the normal life (in case that "normal life" is possible in that region). How do you travel there? Did you had a guide who translates and organize the transfers or do you use public Transport (I have seen a Train on one picture) and taxi? Thanks for sha...
We travelled with a private shuttle bus. As far as I'm aware there is no official public transport like we know.
I've seen a bus in official duty only once. You can take a taxi which can be anything from handcart to a bus. ...
