Yes indeed! It has a very dark past, though. But visiting it is very interesting as you get to learn so much about the history of Iraq and especially Iraqi Kurdistan.

There are loads of solo female travelers in Iraqi Kurdistan and they don't need to cover their hair. I met quite a few myself, but you can also check out people like "Eva zu Beck" on YouTube :)

I Lived In The Slums Of Mumbai For 5 Days And This Experience Opened My Eyes
I Lived In The Slums Of Mumbai For 5 Days And This Experience Opened My Eyes

May be you missed the caption, Its a Slum. The biggest slum in the world. I google'd it "Dharavi", and was blown by sheer size and other things related to it. In India trash is a serious problem I guess, with almost non-existent recycling facilities all the garbage is dumped like this. You can imagine living in a place where for 1000 people they have only 1 toilet(as per above article). But author is correct in pointing out in one thing, no matter where you go, no matter how poor people are, they are same, same needs, same ambitions!
