Iraq: T-Minus 5

In Iraq on Wednesday:

My little brochure on cultural do's and don'ts while deployed in Iraq (printed in 2003) says to never point with a finger, and a thumbs up is considered particularly vulgar. I've found this incorrect along with bits of suggested language in the pamphlet. For instance, Yes = "ee" not nah'ahm, stop = "awgaf" not mao-kiff.

Most two wheeled vehicles have multiple rear-view mirrors, but they usually face the sky more than the rear.

Ali and his sister in the distance. Introduced in Versa Vice months ago.

Riders.

A family of mothers, past present and future.

Trucks.
