- I had such an amazing time traveling around Iraqi Kurdistan and I met so many incredible people. Follow me along on my first day in Erbil as I learned a ton about the people and the history of Kurdistan. I have never felt more welcomed in a place!
Welcome to south kurdistan greetings from the north of Kurdistan 👋👋😍
Thank you! Such great people :)
Such a crazy experience.
Totally! But such a cool place to check out.
Never stop exploring!
For sure!
Such a cool video! So many nice people there.
Thanks so much. Yeah the people there are amazing!
Bravo for the video!
Thanks!!
Looks like an amazing trip!
Yeah it was so amazing!
Love this video brother! It inspires me to visit there!
You definitely should! Such a great place.
Such a cool video! Definitely wanna visit there!
You should! Such an amazing place.
Great video! Did you see any other tourists? How are women treated there?
I love that about traveling too, that the time stretches out and 24 hours can feel like you learn what you learn in a month at home.
Thanks! I didn’t meet a single tourist during the few weeks I was there actually. And it seemed like women were treated well there but I can’t really speak from personal experience. I will say that it’s more open minded than most other middle eastern countries I’ve been to.
Amazing channel bro, welcome to South Kurdistan. You should have 100k subscribers at least! May I ask what type of camera do you use, GoPro 9 ?
Thanks man! Appreciate it. I just shot this on my iPhone. But I have bought a GoPro since then. I will be releasing another video today about Kurdistan too.
@@Rolliepeterkin That's great, I look forward to watch your new videos of Kurdistan 👍🙂
❤❤❤👌👌👍👍
That english teacher is clearly not informed enough and very insecure about what he is saying about kurdish language and history. It's just wrong to say that kurdish is just a mix of persian, arabic and turkish. So let me correct: Kurdish is an indo-european language with many dialects. The two main dialects are Sorani (middle kurdish) and Kurmanji (north kurdish). There are differences in these two dialects but it is not impossible to understand each other at all.
I think he was just simplifying it for a dumb foreigner like me! But thanks for clarifying and informing me!
❤️👍🇹🇯
Thanks 🙏
Ok so what were the negatives for you as a tourist there? Or what didn’t you like?
It was really hard to find working ATMs. I’m Erbil there were some but when you get outside the city they’re nonexistent and people have actually never heard of the concept of a cash machine. And NO place in country accepts credit cards. So at one point I had to make $20 stretch like 4 days.
Oh, welcome to Kurdistan.❤️
Thanks. I felt very welcomed there! Love it.
Looks great man...what do you use to edit videos
Thanks man! I use Adobe Premiere. Pretty easy to use.
How do you research a trip like this in terms of accomodation, landmarks, transport etc as I’m guessing there wouldn't be too much information out there in comparison to cities that are frequented by many tourists.
Great question but I’m the wrong person to ask about that. I do absolutely no research before arriving to a place. Like zero. To me it’s part of the fun. Like a challenge to figure out a puzzle once I land and start talking to people.
However, even the most remote places have blogs and RUclips videos about them. And staying with a Couchsurfing host helps a lot as they will teach you. Asking friends who have visited. And in this case, I just looked at Google maps and saw some random things that looked interesting. That’s it.
Kurdistan and Iraq were comparatively developed until we illegally destroyed their country twice in 30 years with wars and inhumane sanctions. Very nice to see recovery.
It’s definitely sad the destruction that was caused by the wars. And the Kurds definitely suffered immensely under Saddam as well.
How stupid that Kurdish teacher saying Kurdish language is mix of Arabic , Turkish and Farsi , while Kurdish language is closest to proto Indo European family of languages , which basically all western languages including English are evolved for it 6000 years ago . Still we share many vocabularies with them. It’s the earliest Caucasian race settlement there in Mesopotamian Anatolia, when horse were domesticated , then people moved to west and India and they took the language with them and evolved over time to today ‘s modern European and Indian languages , that’s why they call it indo European language
Hey man, I think he was just trying to explain it simply to a stupid foreigner like me. I’m sure he knows the difference! But thanks for watching and for your comment. I love Kurdistan and all the people!
Its very sad to see the racist and hateful attitude from most Turks and Turkmens towards Kurd and Kurdistan. Kurds have a big heart and patience.
Definitely have big hearts and so welcoming!
@@Rolliepeterkin I live abroad right now, when I'm back in Kurdistan I would be so glad to invite you to our house and offer you any assistance that you might require😍
@@HavalKurdistanPeace Amazing! Doesn't surprise me at all. Nicest people in the world!
@@Rolliepeterkin Thank you so much bro, you are a very nice person too 🙂
The English teacher from Kurdistan has a very poor knowledge about the Kurdish language and its history. Kurdish language has a different structure from neighbouring languages. Kurdish alphabets inferred from Aramic. Even Arabic alphabets inferred from the ancient Aramic Language.
Interesting thanks for sharing!
@@Rolliepeterkin most welcome bro 🙂
