An unforgettable trip through Iraq
Iraq Travel Guide的点评
点评：I had been thinking about visiting Iraq for quite a long time, and finally made the trip from the United States. It turned out to be one of those trips that was completely different from what I had imagined before going.
Even before arriving there was a little adventure with the visa. As a US citizen I found out that I needed to arrange my Iraq visa before traveling rather than getting it on arrival. I tried another application website first and couldn’t get it to work, then eventually used evisairaq.com and received my visa in around 8 hours. After that I could finally stop worrying about the paperwork and concentrate on the trip.
I landed in Baghdad and spent some time exploring the city before traveling south. Baghdad is a fascinating place, especially if you are interested in history, but for me the biggest surprise in Iraq was the people.
The hospitality is difficult to explain until you experience it yourself. Many times I would start a conversation with somebody or simply ask a question and suddenly I was being offered tea, food or help with something. People were genuinely curious about where I came from and seemed very happy that an American had come to visit their country.
Later I traveled down to Basra, and I am really happy I included it in the trip. Basra has a completely different feeling from Baghdad. There is so much history in southern Iraq, but I also enjoyed just seeing normal life, walking around, eating local food and talking with people.
What stayed with me the most was how welcoming everyone was. Before coming to Iraq I was thinking mainly about places I wanted to see, but after the trip most of the stories I found myself telling friends back home were about people I met along the way.
After Basra I flew to Erbil and finished my journey there. Doing Baghdad first, then Basra and finally Erbil worked very well for my trip and also gave me a chance to see very different sides of Iraq.
Iraq has incredible historical places, great food and a lot to see, but the hospitality was easily the part I will remember most. I came home with a very different picture of the country than the one I had before traveling.

翻译：我很久以来一直想着去伊拉克，最终从美国启程成行。结果，这趟旅程完全超出了我事先的想象。
甚至在抵达之前，签证方面就出现了一点小波折。作为美国公民，我得知自己必须在出发前就办好伊拉克签证，而不能在抵达后办理。我先尝试了另一个申请网站，但没能成功。后来我使用了evisairaq.com网站，大约8小时后就拿到了签证。从那以后，我终于不用再为各种手续发愁，可以专心准备旅行了。
我抵达巴格达后，先花了一些时间游览这座城市，随后便向南方进发。巴格达是个非常有趣的地方，尤其适合对历史感兴趣的人；不过对我来说，伊拉克最令人惊喜的还是那里的人民。
那种热情好客的待客之道，只有亲身经历过才能真正体会。很多时候，当我开始与某人攀谈或只是提出一个问题时，对方立刻就会请我喝茶、给我食物，或是帮我解决某些事情。人们真的很好奇我来自哪里，而且似乎很高兴有美国人来他们的国家做客。
后来我前往巴士拉，我很庆幸把这里也列入了行程。巴士拉给人的感觉与巴格达截然不同。伊拉克南部历史悠久，不过能看看当地人的日常生活也让我乐在其中。四处闲逛、品尝当地美食，还和人们聊天。
最让我难以忘怀的是当地人的热情好客。来伊拉克之前，我满脑子想的都是想要游览的景点；但旅行结束后，我给家乡的朋友们讲述的大多是在旅途中遇到的那些人。
从巴士拉出发后，我飞往埃尔比勒，并在那里结束了旅程。其实我本应先去巴格达的。随后，巴士拉，最后是埃尔比勒，这些地方都为我的行程提供了极大便利，也让我得以领略伊拉克截然不同的一面。
伊拉克有着令人惊叹的历史遗迹、美味的食物，还有诸多值得一看的景点，但最让我难以忘怀的还是当地人的热情好客。旅行归来后，我对这个国家的印象与出发前相比有了很大变化。
