Hi Everyone :)

I thought I should create a thread here for us to share travel experiences and interesting stories.

I love to know where you've been? and what trips are you planning for the future? :)

What's your favorite place you've ever been to? Do you wish that you were there right now, if so, why aren't you LOL?

Nice thread idea BigDreamer,

I have been to quite a few European countries, Sweden, Germany and France. Sweden is okay i went to see family, same with Germany. France was an actual holiday for me (i have no family there! lol). As for the Middle East, i have only been to Iran and Syria but really wish to see Petra in Jordan and the pyramids in Egypt.

Well the most bizarre story was when me and my cousin (we were babies at the time) nearly fell off the roof of my aunts house in Damascus. My mum and aunt caught us both at the right time.

Finally, (unfortunantly) for me, the one place i would love to see but have not is Iraq!! This forum has urged me to go even more especially when i see the updates in the photography section lol. I hope to plan a trip there in the near future. After that i want to take a pit stop to Syria and see some family, i have to say i enjoy myself the most when i am there it is really beautiful, i love everything about that place. And to answer your final question, im not there because of my studies in England lol

What about you? You have to answer your own questions too :nuts: :)

Asia: iraq, lebanon, Syria, Jordan, turkey, UAE, bahrain, Oman, Pakistan

Africa: Egypt, Libya, Morocco

Europe: Ukraine, Romania, Hungary, Macedonia, Serbia, Czech republic, bulgaria, Austria, Switzerland, East Germany, West Germany, France, Holland, UK, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia

never been to americas, east asia or australasia... would like to visit sometimes.

Asia: Iraq, Iran, Syria, Turkey, China+ Hongkong and Macau SAR
NA: Canada
Europe: Germany, Russia, Cech Republic, Slovakia, Italy, UK(England), Hungary
Favourite place was Hongkong, an truly impulsive city. I really want to visit France(Côte d'Azur+Paris and USA, especially the east coast(NYC, Boston, New Englands small towns and territories), i porbably travel in November to Paris and if i have enough money next summer through the US.

OMG Sara, that's a really freaky story ! how did you fall off the roof? (and what what were you doing up there anyways lol ..

Glad to hear you wanna visit Iraq, So I'm guessing you were born in the UK, but your parents are form Iraq? I miss Iraq too, I do remember quite a bit of it, I left when I was 10 yo.

I love to see Sweden and Germany, where abouts did you go when you where there?

That's one long list Sheytan, you're sure been around! Which one of these places did you like the most?

Hungary. but I really want to see China / Koreas / Malaysia... perhaps one day.

big dreamer. you started the thread but haven't posted...

That's a great list Infestus =) I love to see Hong kong ! unfortunately, I haven't been to any of the east Asian countries =(

I think November is a good month to see Paris, I went to Paris in July this year.. It was soooooo hot! you can't even walk outside.. I rather go in winter (if I ever go there again.. i think Paris was a let down)

I really enjoyed east asia, it was this summer when i was in China, it was a whole new experience since i just was in Europe/NA and ME before, but if Paris was too hot for you in summer you shouldn't go to east asia in summer, best time to travel there is otcober/november, why didn't you like Paris?

@ Sheytan: I had to laugh when i saw that you did write east and west germany :lol: It suprises me that from your long list you did like hungary the most, i was just in Budapest, it's a nice city but imho nothing special, what do you like so much about Hungary?

It depends on your taste, but Hungary has always been my favourite place (culture, food, drink, architecture, laid back and not too crowded as well as lots of free events and festivals which are not dull like the german/scandinavian ones)... I know there are people with plenty of other (more famous) preferences... but after Buda, my next choices would be Lyon and Istanbul.

Most Iraqis I know don't like Budapest too much, but its probably because it needs time to understand it.. and also because all the food is non-halal! (well most of it).

Iraq (Only in KRG, I tried going to kirkuk but the check point guys advised me not to), Turkey, Iran, and UK :D

I haven't been to alot of places, just Iraq and UAE. I'm planning for a trip to Canada next year (and maybe settle there).

A very funny things happened to me last year when we decided (me and my dad) to travel from Baghdad to Erbil by car.

As we're on our way to Erbil we're stopped by a policeman at checkpoint in Diala and he started to look at me in a weird way! After few questions he said to my dad "do you know how many terrorists we catch everyday that look like your son?" (referring to my beard and my long hair) :shifty: I started laughing, I was terrified from inside though. :ohno:

The second time we're stopped by Kurdish officer and we were asked to step out of the car! The officer rummaged the car and told us to wait, After a very stressful 10 minutes he said "everything is OK you can continue your trip".

After we had a snake at a famous Kurdish restaurant in Tozkhormato (the food was soooo good :drool:) the driver said "do you know that this restaurant was boomed many times?!" :runaway: I told my dad "lets pay and get the hell out of here". I didn't even have my tea :lol:

It was a crazy trip, But I had a lot of fun. :)

Europe: Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, UK, France, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Belgium.

Asia: Syria.

I love to see Sweden and Germany, where abouts did you go when you where there?

LOL you're right, I should answer my own question lol :bash:

Yes it was but we didn't fall my mum and aunt caught us in time, and i have no idea what i was doing up there .. i guess we wanted to explore the roof??

Visiting Iraq would be interesting, i want to go to see historical sites more than anything. No i was born in Iran, but my parents are Iraqi (Kurd) .. thats why i was born in Iran lol

In Sweden i went to Malmo and in Germany Berlin, i have family in both cities, it was okay, i guess most European countries are the same though ..

Come on, its your turn ..!

It was a crazy trip, But I had a lot of fun. :)

Well, it is IRAQ.

I'v never actualy met a feyli :(
I'v met assyrian,shabak and turkmen in kurdistan but never feyli.

I'v never actualy met a feyli :(
I'v met assyrian,shabak and turkmen in kurdistan but never feyli.

Thats because we are largely populated in Baghdad. Have you been there? Also there are plenty of Feyli's in Iran too.

Come to think of it, i have never met an Assyrian, Shabak or Turkmen. Just Iraqi Kurds and Arabs.

Are the kurds in kermanshah feyli? I know their shia but...

Well if you go to erbil, you can meet both assyrian and turkmens :D

...Serbia....

Did you visit Serbia or just pass through? :)

Did you visit Serbia or just pass through? :)

I have visited Beograd, and I always drive the entire length of serbia several times a year when going between Budapest and Skopje... you know E75 subotica down to vranje! I love southern serbia though. The nature is amazing and full of historical monasteries and small towns. we always stop between leskovac and vranje in the valleys and have lunches in the mountain restaurants...

^^ Sounds like an amazing thing to experience!


haha sounds like an awesome adventure :D

:) It was. Now it's your turn :tongue2:


Thats because we are largely populated in Baghdad.

That is true especially in Bab Al-Shaikh and Al-Keafah st.

Are the kurds in kermanshah feyli? I know their shia but...

Well if you go to erbil, you can meet both assyrian and turkmens :D

I would love to see Erbil so i can say that i finally met an Assyrian and a Turkmen lol

And yes there are plenty of Feyli Kurds predominantly located in kermanshah ilam, but also a few in khuzestan (particularly in ahwaz). Yes we are Shia along with most Persians but i guess that is where the idealogy behind Saddams actions; which was to deport all Feyli's to Iran because they are "Iranian".! :ohno:

Yup :) Have you met any Feyli's?

Some prominent peshmerga were feyli :)
You'll find Assyrians all over Kurdistan! quite a few in duhok also, I don't know about sulemanya though.. and if you know kurdish you won't have any problem communicating with the turkmen or assyrians.

Yes i believe some of the Feyli's living in Khanaqin are/were Peshmerga fighters. I suppose i will have to travel to Kurdistan to find all of Iraq's ethnicities lol but unfortunantly i cannot speak Kurdish so communication will be very difficult unless they know Arabic or English? :|

:0 you don't know kurdish? do your parents know kurdish?

No i don't :ohno: but yes both my parents know Kurdish, Farsi and Arabic. I guess because they were living in Baghdad (i don't like to use the term Arabized) ...anyway they raised me to speak Arabic because it is a more widely spoken and recognised language than Kurdish. All my extended family that lived in "Arab" Iraq all speak Arabic, only the Kurds from the north speak Kurdish.

Interesting, aren't you worried that in 1-2 generations your Kurdish identity will be lost? I mean that's how it starts, your parents acknowledge the fact that they are Kurdish and speak it, you acknowledge the fact you are Kurdish but don't speak it, the next generation will do none in my opinion. No offence. Not liking the word will not change the fact its true :( the same has happend with tukmen in kurdistan they are in the process of being "kurdified" after all they are anti-turkish politics

Well i suppose its all a matter of how and where you have been raised, the next generation may not even speak Arabic since i am not fluent. So its not so much about preference to what language you will teach your children but rather yur surroundings that affect that. Well yes im not denying that Arabization has not taken place, i just dont like the term since i dont think that's the only reason for opting to teach someone Arabic over another language. My family are very deep rooted with Kurdish culture but Baghdad is their home, and so we celebrate Newroz speaking Arabic :nuts: .. lol

I suppose, I mean my granddad was Jewish (Aramaic speaking), my grandmother from my other side is assyrian also Aramaic speaking, so Im only 50% Kurd by blood (possibly less), my family are all hardcore nationalist kurds, everyone from my grandfather to my older cousins have been peshmerga so I guess that's why I've been brought up as a kurd only. I do hope you one day learn kurdish.

Okay thats a nice mixed blood line lol, yes i too hope to learn Kurdish, all i know is "choni", "spas" and "biji" which is very poor i know ..

Okay thats a nice mixed blood line lol, yes i too hope to learn Kurdish, all i know is "choni", "spas" and "biji" which is very poor i know ..

Haha :D

Blood does not define kurds, as barzani said "he who speaks kurdish, celebrates its culture and proud is a kurd" it makes more sense in kurdish, but he is absolutely right, becuase physically you can not define a Kurd, we have all from blonds to dark skinned.

Haha :D

Oh yes your right about that both my parents are Kurdish but my mum is naturally blond haired with blue eyes and my dad looks like saddam hussein, so yes we do look really different.

Haha! thats tragic, becuase every time my parents saw Saddam on tv shoes were flying everywhere! yeah your right, my grandmother was also blond but my dad is pretty dark, although I'm light skinned myself its all confusing.

well either him or ibrahim tatlises, whichever is less offensive lol

well either him or ibrahim tatlises, whichever is less offensive lol

That would do.

diako_ber: Yea but in summer they have trouble with the garbage in CPH as people don't care about their garbage when they go to the beach for instance. They hire extra garbage men in the summer to handle the problem..

Makaay: Do you visit them often? Yea a lot of football tourneys for the youngsters are held in DK..

Shaytan: Haha that's funny. They changed their name to DTU(Denmark's Technical University) now. Did you learn a little bit Danish? :D

Last time I visited them was in June 2011.. Not so often, that is weird actually cause they are basically living around the corner(I mean not like Iraq), I think we have too busy lives

i hear sweden has a massive iraqi population there...what are the iraqis like there?

massive...

Shaytan: Haha that's funny. They changed their name to DTU(Denmark's Technical University) now. Did you learn a little bit Danish? :D

jeg tale lit dansk. not sure if that was right. this was over 15 years ago LOL!

i hear sweden has a massive iraqi population there...what are the iraqis like there?

hahahaha. you need to see a place called "rosengord" in malmo. I went there in 1997 when i was a student in copenhagen. I was ashamed to call myself Iraqi afterwards.

and that was before the post 2003 influx! can't imagine what its like now.

sociale office is the only place our lot know!

lol correct. :D

i hear sweden has a massive iraqi population there...what are the iraqis like there?

Lmao! I just came back from Amsterdam but with a different kind of souvenir lol. You have to experience it with the Dutch so you dont get ripped off and go to the places worth visiting. Next up is L.A for me, anyone been there that can share some tips/advice/info?

No, But i'm looking to work in Calafornia for some years once I graduate from Pharmacy. Videos are telling me thats it beautiful, especially long beach and the atmosphere.

Yes pictures alone are convincing me to live out there, im not sure how easy its going to be in terms of finding work but i guess you have to see it in person before making that kind of decision. Also its surgery heaven over there, so im excited to see how real the people look lol

Yeh i'm not sure either, but I do know its very good for pharmacists. I would never want to live in america though, especially for my childrens sake. I hope you have fun there.

Thanks :D But really is there any place on earth that is suitable to raise your children?

Disney Land.

But then that makes it an easier hot spot for the pedo's.
