Beneath all the negative news that the main stream media always publish and broadcast about Iraq, little do they know about the everyday life of Iraqis in Baghdad who are having a normal life, with business as usual, and who are very much eager to welcome visitors from all over and show them around. Thanks a lot, Josh, for all your guts, courage, as well as your own brand of openness and sense of humour that make your videos very, very interesting. Beneath its notions that Baghdad is a war-torn city, you have brilliantly shown how its people are very, very friendly, with very exciting street food (it indeed would be a blessing for those who love very spicy food like me), its bustling bazaars/souqs with lots to of ethnic souvenirs and novelty items to buy as those perfect gifts for the folks back home--also reflective of the entrepreneural spirit of the Iraqis, and colourful Islamic architecture, plus streets that a very, very safe to walk and explore. Keep up your excellent work, Josh :-)

They used to be deemed as poor and underclass, especially since they were the cheaper option of the taxi, but now they're called heroes and are a symbol of the uprising in Iraq! And so many people donated so much to them during the revolution, the revolution really changed so much for the better in just a few months already...
