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...

Can't see much of a problem with your knee length shorts if the waiters are all wearing mini skirts...Very progressive. lol Entertaining and informative, great video Josh. Keep Lukas around, happiest you have been in a while!

Inshallah I can go visit Baghdad soon!! I assume from this video that similarly to Cairo, it is a truly magnificent metropolis. Its fascinating location on the former silk road between China and the Mediterranean makes it such as interesting place. I really can't wait to see it;.

Hey Josh, This was a fascinating tour of Baghdad and Hussein was very good tour guide and knowledgeable about everything. Do you have link to his instagram account?
