Choman day trip

Yesterday we were invited to a day trip high up in the mountains around Choman. A seminar was also held out in the free. Four Kurdish TV channels were in the area so maybe you saw it on TV.


On the way to Choman





Driving higher and higher. The cars got stuck badly 2 times.





This area is still partly a minefield. Some organizations has been working with clearing minefield areas in Kurdistan. The areas around the borders and around Kirkuk are the worst and you still see a lot of these signs. Choman is a important and historical place in the history of Kurdish war. This was also a military heavy occupied area during the Iraq and Iran war.












A part of Choman city.





Choman culture house that is one of our projects.




The waterfall you saw a couple of posts ago.





I saw some nice puppies on our way and wanted to take this one with me but i do not have the time for it. I will do it next time.





Today was the end of the English course held for students at Salahaddin Economical University and they received their diplomas.
