Introduction

I moved to Baghdad two years ago with my husband because of his work. I was born in the US, and both he and I were raised there. Life here is a lot different than it is in America, and for that matter, than it is in alot of Arab countries. In fact, its a lot different now than it was before Saddam was deposed (S [husband] and I came for a visit two years before Saddam was removed from power).
I've been recording some of my thoughts on life here, during the past two years (I lost some of those thoughts when our computer crashed last year). In this blogspot, I'll be posting some of those past thoughts, new thoughts that occur to me, and updates on the situation here.
