 Thank You France (sic) by american_tourister
So much for that "Oil for food" program! Thank you France for stabbing everyone else in the back while Saddam tortured, gassed, and starved his own people. Leave a Comment

Visiting My family!
My uncle came long ago,from Indonesia (more than 60 years ago) to finish his studies to Iraq,he then setteld there and married an Iraquie lday,actually she`s a Kurd.
he had 7 children from her,they all grew up to be either doctors or engineers.
My uncle passed away in 1988,I saw him for the last time when he came to Makkah/Saudi Arabia to preform a spiritual visit called Hajj.
I had visited Iraq twice,once when I was 7 or 8 and again in 1989,but my mom always likes to say I visited it three times,as in 1971 she visited it with my father,when she came back she knew that she was pregnant(with me).
It was the time where I got to meet my cousins and get to know each other`s cultures!
I remember their Arabic accent was so hard for me to understand we used to communicate with English language some times! Leave a Comment

I went with a french group,starting from paris,then amman by plane.We travelled by bus from amman to baghdad(16 hours+the border);we stayed 12 days in iraq,visiting many archeological and cultural sites.Iraq has a very rich history,made of very different cultures(mesopotamia,assyria,christian,sunnite moslem,shiite moslem...)
I had a good relationship with our 2 iraqi guides(one moslem,the other one christian),I spent one evening in their hotel room drinking arak(iraqi alcohol)and talking about iraqi girls(pfffff,have you ever seen more beautiful girls ????)

Go out shopping, you will love shopping there. They have everything from jewelry to food.
You must try their pastries, they are the greatest. I was born and raised there, everything I saw was beautiful, especially up in the north where the Kurds live. But remember you have to be careful up north because of tribal conflicts. The one thing that strikes me is the mountain, you can go and have a beautiful picnic, dancing, hiking, or just go for the sight. Baghdad is one of the most splendid places you will ever see, its history and just the people there will amaze you.
Everything from food to visiting relatives. My best memory are the parks and the restaurants. Leave a Comment

do a trip to Babylon: Unfortunately the buildings of this worldfamous city have been destroyed not only once. What you can see today are mostly rebuilt palaces, walls, ceremonial avenues, ...
While the famous statue of the Lion of Babylon remained there many other pieces have been taken away to museums in Iraq and abroad.
Ishtar gate is may be the most well known piece having been removed from it's original place. There is a copy in Babylon today that shows a little how the gate looked and how it wellcomed travellers and visitors. I can just hope that once the original gate will find it's way back from Berlin to Babylon.

As a modern city Baghdad takes a lot of it's charme from the river Tigris. I was quite impressed how 'normal' life was in Baghdad in 1998. Nothing to see of the bombings from the war.
... more later
