At the Airport

The 1st thing I noticed this time at the Airport was that for the 1st time in a long time, I saw women that are wearing stylish, modern cloths and outfits; not anything near “Veronica’s Closet full of black wide shapeless long sacks!!!”


I have seen this with a much narrower scale back at the hotel, first because the hotel is in downtown Baghdad and in a somewhat nowadays conservative area, (Baghdad is all conservative now thanks to the militias and insurgents!). Women may find it difficult to come to the hotel stylish, unless if they were staying there, thus being able to change in a safe environment. But since the Airport road is somewhat secured / isolated, and they will be landing somewhere better styled than today’s Baghdad (excluding Tehran, of course), so they have the chance to go with the global trend (reasonable version).


My flight was supposed to fly out at noon, and I entered the terminal at 9 AM, and I sat and sat, after buying 5 DVDs (Syriana, Date Movie, The Pink Panther, The Devil Wears Prada, and My Super Ex-Girlfriend).
