The Little Things
Back home on St. Patrick’s Day, green beverages are flowing while our friends take in the opening round of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. In Iraq, we are in the land of no vices, therefore, we look forward to simple pleasures throughout our flying day.
In Tallil, a fuel stop means a run over to the Italian Café, which serves Cappuccinos, Espresso’s and sells fine Cuban cigars. A long layover is preferred, since they also serve the best pizza in Iraq.
In Balad, it is a stop at the Coffee Bean…Kuwait is for Nathan’s Hot Dogs…Mosul is for the JavaHut and a visit to the Post Exchange (PX)…but to get bargains on rugs, jewelry or hand-made clothes, a stop at the Turkish Mall in Q-West is a must.
As you can see, some of our flight engineers have developed a sense of fashion—Egyptian Cotton Shirt, Silk Tie, Wool-Blend Suit—all hand-made by Turkish tailors for a mere $250. What a deal…and very stylish!
