One of the few good things left for us in this country is our own neighborhood. Compared to other Baghdad’s regions, ours is considered safe to some extent.

Hi all,
My computer didn’t work and I had to leave it at my relative’s house for a couple of days to fix the problem. At that time I stayed with my grandma’s sister. She had a minor surgery and needed someone to take care of her, she has only one daughter and she is away [...]

I’ve been around the blogosphere for such long time now, both as a blogger and as a reader.

I am holiday and in a flat with no Internet and no telephone. Yet I still get that urge that keeps drawing me back to the Internet café. My one-hour a day fix to feed my blogging habit. And the Iraqi bloggers are keeping me hooked.
