You're my favorite youtube traveller, and I've seen a lot of them. Your kindness and open mindedness is what the middle east needed, not because the're not, but because of the many who couldn't really get the vibe and the beauty of middle eastern cultures, beside all the unfair destruction, stigma and historical misery. Best wishes from Egypt to you and the beautiful Iraqi people that we love.
