    WELCOME TO BAGHDAD, IRAQ!!! OMGGG I am so excited to share this video with you!! As someone who is going to every country (currently 194/197) -- Baghdad has been high on my list ever since I fell in love with Middle Eastern culture & hospitality back in 2015... It's hard to explain in words how happy I am here, especially because I have this unique opportunity to share REAL LIFE things happening on these streets. I can guarantee this is a Baghdad you've never heard about, or seen on the news.
    In today's $10 episode, which is my 50th so far (!!!), I take you through the bustling markets and around the city to see how many things I could purchase for $10 USD (14,000 Iraqi Dinars). I hope you enjoy the journey in Baghdad!

But I’ve met some pitbulls that are super chill, but a strange one I’m gonna be ready to defend against and avoid lol. I been bit by a golden retriever just walking which put me on edge. My area makes it worse too, since most owners are really stupid and careless with them. I don’t blame the dog itself

    As Israeli Jew, who's both parents were born in Iraq, this video got me so emotional. I am excited to see not only the sites in Baghdad, but mainly the people. Their kindness and generosity, the food that is so familiar to me, to hear the Iraqi language that my ear is so used to since my childhood.
    I heard so many stories from my parents and family about Iraq. I grew up on those stories and always had to imagine the scenery. So many stories of joy and nostalgic. They always said they had very good life and felt safe and welcome there (except of the Farhud, the pogrom against the Jews which occurred due to the Nazi propaganda).
    The generation that was born in Iraq and came to Israel, never stopped missing their homeland. They keep preserving their Iraqi culture, songs and heritage, which they are very proud of.
    It is hard to believe, but even me, I see you and I feel home...
    I wish I could visit you, see you, hug you and tell you how much I love you.
