That's for sure! I don't think I'd have any problem going up, but that view going down is a little off putting. I've noticed in Iraq too that they don't seem to go in for hand railings. Here they wouldn't let you move in without them. Well the accommodations may not be four star, but it's definitely something you will remember for a long time. <i>And</i> you finally got to meet Caesar. :P Great post. Looking forward to hearing of the rest of your adventure. :D Those stairs! :lol: Well you don’t have to worry about not getting enough exercise! That’s for sure!

Try walking down them laden with heavy things.... Awwww, no. Was I being too negative? I was being too negative. No, it wasn't four star, but it was fine. That indeed I did. :) So why the :P smiley? I'll try to get the other parts out faster...... @ David: Pffffffffffft.

Lynnette is right, that place would be ruled unfit for human habitation int he U.S.! Not a big fan of ants. I usually get a wad of packing tape and adhise them until they are all stuck! ;) Cool Roman arch! Did you actually get 20,000 One SP Bills at the bank? :P Just wondering how they managed to jip you. Is it against the law to not love Bashar? Yes, A. is a clever girl! ;) I hate rubbery carrots!

Besides I like that smiley. It's so, I don't know, smirky... :) :lol: Oh, it's okay to be negative once in awhile. Sometimes the best times are had in places that <i>aren't</i> four star. Did I ever tell you about the hotel I stayed at in London where the tile in the shower fell off on my friend while she was taking a shower? At the tme it wasn't very amusing, buuuuuut as time goes by, it becomes more so. :P So why the smiley?

I couldn't translate that chant for you in time. Sometimes I feel pissed off about the sucky network connection here. Anyway, if you mistakenly picked up my call at least talk to me. :P Nice post, btw! :) Sorry, Mel! I couldn’t translate that chant for you in time.

If the only thing Iraqis had to complain about was a lousy internet connection that would be great! Nice to see you around. Ahem, so what about you? Isn't it time for even a little post squeezed through that "sucky" network connection? :) It’s kinda relative, Caesar.
