My series on travel in Iraq is finally done over at Gadling. The final articles include visits to Ur, Ctesiphon, and Babylon; Iraq's Christian community; the much more chilled-out region of Kurdistan; a Baghdad amusement park (no, really); and my experiences walking alone through Baghdad (bad idea, glad I did it). I round out the series with ten random, humorous observations about Iraq and a discussion of the practicalities of travel in Iraq.
If you liked this series, please share, tweet, and blog about it. More people need to read it, not because I need more readers but because people need to know what Iraq's like beyond the mass media headlines.
It's always a bit of a bummer finishing a series. It makes me feel like I'm finally done with the trip. Don't worry, there will be plenty more adventures in 2013!
I need to catch up on your series!
ReplyDeleteI missed this. I'll have to check it all out, especially walking through Baghdad. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI also need to catch up on the posts I missed, while doing an Alexfest and prepping for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYour post/interview on my blog brought in lots of pageviews. Who else posts about Iraq? What I've seen so far was great. Thanks for the reminder.
This is a great posting It’s exactly what I was looking for. I like your article.
