Another thrilling day....
Traffic in northern Iraq is truly speechless, with no local public transportation, only shared taxis. Planning to go to some quite mysterious religious holy place Lalish, mu has a direct car, originally wanted to carpool an hour to a city and then go to lalish for an hour, a total of two hours, turned out to go to that city because it is to enter the Kurdish region, various procedures queued, the road to half two hours passed...
Feeling that the time was too late, the driver helped me to catch a local car at the intersection, and it just so happened that he was a religious person, living near the holy land of Lalish, and he was quite friendly. Took me to their house for a sip of tea and took me to the Holy Land. Visited there for a while. Some Armenian church feeling, the girls of the religious believers are so beautiful, every temperament is the same as the princess....
When I came back to Mosul, I was also a little scared, because the police on the other side of the Holy Land said that it was not safe to get late in the day, saying that there was an i... s。 But my luggage is in the hotel in Mosul, and it is impossible not to go back. So they contacted a taxi to take me to a nearby town, and then to find a taxi to Mosul, and then to chekpoin, the police on the other side found a policeman who could speak English and told me that this road was going to Mosul and asked for documents, and I had to take a detour to another city and then go to Mosul. So I found another taxi to go to another city, looked at the map and found that there was an intersection that directly got off the car and then stopped the car to go to Mosul, so they helped me still at the police station, let the police help me find the car... The police called again and said there might be a problem with the one, and finally helped me find a local dealer car passing by. The locals driving the car are also very friendly and enthusiastic, and also showed me the ID card, I saw that he wrote on the social reseacher, this profession seems to be quite fun, he also called his English-speaking friend halfway through the way to communicate with me on the phone, in fact, I think the Iraqis are really good, they just really see that you have difficulties and will take the initiative to find a way to help you that kind, and finally I invited him to eat Iraqi meat sandwich dinner as a thank you...
In fact, I was very anxious all the way, because I was afraid that something would really happen when it got dark, and even the scene of being stopped by a group of terrorists holding Ask.47 in my brain. And it was in Iraq, riding with a group of men all the way....but in the end it felt like it was okay...
About that mysterious religion: yazidis, said to be an ancient religion that blends Christianity, Islam, and Zoroastrianism. They cannot intermarry with others. People who are not yazidis cannot be converted into believers, they feel that lalish is the Garden of Eden, the place where the world begins.
