I had a few phrases for getting me through Iraq safely like:
"thankyou for showing me your marvellous gun"
"I agree with everything you have ever said and thought"
"Thankyou for the bread dipped in water, simply delicious must have the reciepe"
"Thankyou very much for letting me ride in the trunk of your car."
It pays to be polite :) anyway I had a fair few but I had difficulty saying them in arabic.. ;0 tough language
Theres a small chance I might still go in june but I doubt it.
Shits just gonna hit the fan there.
