"A travel journal of a woman journeying in Iraq at the turn of the 20th century. Not only was she traveling in a British-controlled area (just a decade or two after the Victorian era) and not only was she doing it alone, but she was journeying through the Arab world. She did an excellent job portraying a time when the British (and Americans) were welcomed in Iraq and she displayed a beautiful and ancient culture that today's TV viewers would have difficulty believing. Three takeaways: 1. You aren't really traveling on a tour bus or a cruise ship. You need to interact with the local people to actually be traveling. Seems Rick Steves was not the first person to try to get that point across. 2. Observing the everyday life of another person is just as fascinating as observing a famous tourist site. 3. Showing an interest in another person's life or culture will typically get you a more positive reaction than showing disdain."
"I picked up this book on the recommendation of a friend. Baghdad 1938...can't lose track of the fact that this is an ancient city. I am now reading Three Cups of Tea, modern Pakistan, in which the travel and cultural issues are similar."
