Eating a giant fish in Iraq 🇮🇶 mE 45

I arrive in Zakho in Kurdistan, in Iraq, and I explore the city. First I eat a giant mesopotamian fish, then I explore the bazaar, where I meet several friendly local people and I buy some nuts.

Another great video Yves. Seems like everything is a bit more expensive there. Still inexpensive compared to Europe and US of course. Could you consider breaking out the map again and going over your travel route plans? I think at one time you were going to take a ferry to Africa from Turkey. What are your plans now to get to Africa?

[@KinoYves]

Thank you again Carl, and yes, it is a bit expensive compared to Turkey or the Balkans, but still much cheaper than Western Europe or the US. Regarding my plans to reach Africa. The ship from Turkey was to go to Lebanon, and then I decided to go back to Turkey because it was too early to reach Africa, as the land borders of Ethiopia were closed because of the ongoing war. Right now, the land borders are still closed in Ethiopia, and as long as it is like that, the road from Cairo to Capetown is impossible to do. The advantage of being in Iraq is that I can also decide to head to Asia in spite of Africa, if the borders start to open up, and Asia seems to start opening up, so if nothing changes, I might head towards South East Asia. But for my plans for the coming months, from Iraq, I should be able reach Jordan, and then Egypt. I should be in Egypt in summer, and then, I will wait until the end of autumn, and see which route is open, if Ethiopia opens up, I will head to Sudan and Ethiopia, if not, I will probably head to Saudi, Dubai, and then maybe Iran, Pakistan, India... I will include a map in the video I am editing right now where I talk a bit about my plans.

I agree with the first part, but Turkish is ongolian Western Chinese??? Turkish and Mongolian have NOTHING to do with Chinese, Mongolian and Turkish are Turkic languages, or Altaic languages,, which is an entire family of languages in itself.
