    Iraqi people seem so friendly to foreigners who visit their country. If the whole world was really like this, and there was no hate, scams, crimes, or drugs, We would live a better life. I have had many Patients from Iraq who live here in the USA, and they all try so hard to show their appreciating for our care to them. They bought us so much fruits and the children would just hug us. They asked me how do they say this in English, how do they say that. They taught me Arabic. It was really nice. I play so much with the Iraqi patients we get in the hospital in Pediatric ❤️🤍💙.

    I do a lot of solo travelling, often my only talk is with my taxi driver, if we can understand each other. They are the best people to know, they give advise and have great local knowledge.
    When you travel, you never need a tourist office, just a good taxi driver. All the people you met were super friendly and helpful, Baghdad in a flourish fresh city with amazing kind people.

    I recommend taking the time to explore some of the key and intriguing sites in Baghdad. They offer a unique experience especially for those captivated by culture and history. The first stop on your tour should be the renowned Iraqi National Museum - you're bound to appreciate it. Following that, the Baghdadi Museum.

    Man who sold you the shoes didn’t lie to you and say they were real, he told you they were fake. Iraqi people are literally the most honest people, and that’s why you don’t see too many wealthy and successful Iraqi billionaires. In order to be wealthy, you have to be ruthless and a good manipulator, and the Iraqi people are not that.
