Amanda It is amazing how different we are. You fly by the seat of your pants and I must plan every detail of my trip, down to what I will order at a certain restaurant on a certain day. I guess the commonality of it all is that we both enjoy traveling.

Matt Shofman Salah El Din, I appreciate your interest in my blog, and your criticisms of MY view points. You or more than welcome to create your own forum for self expression, or, you can continue writing disparaging comments on mine. Sadly, your rhetoric only fuels the stereotypes and misconceptions that I am attempting to demystify. I am sorry you disagree with me, but unfortunately, your messages only reflect poorly on you, your people, and your country, which despite what you believe, I have had a positive experience with. Regardless, I cant make friends everywhere, so thank you, you are my first critic : ) Aven - Thank you for your comments, they are noted.
re: Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan Autonomous Region, Iraq
Aza Salah El Din ur definitely an Arab, Slemani is couple of hours south east of Arbil and he is telling the truth, It is people like you that makes tourist and world travelers scare off from our country, so u should go home to ur stable and eat hay with ur horse friends cuz that is where u belong u DOUCHE!
re: Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan Autonomous Region, Iraq
Aven I love that you talking about that Kurdish guy realy nice, but I have to tell you some thing please when you talk about Arbill and Sulaymanyah just say Kurdistan not Iraq , plus In Kurdistan you dont need to be Armed you bagging about you were unarmed, theres alot of SF there and UNarmed, ITs realy safe place. Igot to tell you that sulaymanyah is realy close to Arbil not to baghdad , wel mr. sulaymaniah is not hot ,I live in NY its pretty hot here too, i think summer is realy hot in every where in world, let say today in Newyork cittiy wa 102 degry was realy hot. why you dont talk about kurdish woman how they dressup unlike state, they all fashinesta, not like here .
re: Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan Autonomous Region, Iraq
Salah El Din Need to correct myself - it is EAST! I just got carried away with anger about the story, thus my mistake.
re: Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan Autonomous Region, Iraq
Salah El Din Way a nonsense story! Idiotic and full of typical American ignorance. Sulaimani "a couple of hours south of Erbil" get your bearings right you ignorant idiot! It is west of Erbil. But I guess you just wanted it to sound adventurous bringing Baghdad into the sentence. Go home you moron and continue getting your education from Fox News!

Alina I needed to put you the lltite observation to be able to thank you very much the moment again for those unique guidelines you have featured at this time. It is simply shockingly open-handed of people like you to give openly all a lot of folks might have made available for an e-book in order to make some profit for themselves, especially since you might have done it if you ever considered necessary. Those things likewise served like the good way to know that other individuals have the same eagerness really like mine to see much more with regards to this issue. I know there are many more fun moments in the future for many who read your blog post.

Jomar To me it just all depends. If you are going to be tainkg a bunch of longer trips that will cost a lot by single ticket or if you are going to go to like 3 cities in one day or something then I guess the Eurorail passes could work.My personal opinion is that they are rarely the best option. Point to Point ticket are suprisingly affordable esp. in certain countries. I spent a lot of time in Italy where the rail is a really good deal. Also in the course of your travels you may want to take a cheap bus or a Ryan air or Easy Jet flight or some such. That may not be an option for you if you have already shelled out for a Eurorail pass.Basically I learned to hate almost all multi-whatever passes in the course of my last trip (which was my first trip overseas). Stuff comes up, you drink too much and want to stay some place one day more to recover. It's raining everyday so you decided you have to flee to Spain for some good weather. You can't find a hostel in a new city or upon arriving you decide that it's a dump and you just want to go somewhere else on a night train. Passes can potentailly save you money, but they may end up costing you more. They will for sure cramp your style at least a little unless you just screw it all and buy a massive expensive one. The only pass that saved me money on my trip was a week long Tube pass in London. The other 6 or 7 various passes and memberships I bought were a waste.
