Basra, Iraq ➖ After catching the overnight train from Baghdad, we arrived in Basra at 4:30am. We hunted for a hotel to catch up on a few hours of sleep and then made our way out to explore the city. Our first stop was a trendy cafe called Nook to get some coffee and a bite to eat. We then visited a local market where we met the friendly Basra locals and went on a buying spree! A great first experience here in Southern Iraq!

so sorry you heard that word f* they where saying to you that they only know yes and no then he came and say that word Dont take it personal and Dont take a bad idea about people there because of this person not all the people like him and i wanna thank you because you are such a nice and good person and your vlogs about iraq is so beautiful and amazing thank you again for your coming and welcome anytime Keep going and have a nice day ❤️
he knew what he was saying thats why he paused and was hesitant before he said it then ran away after he said it
@@alameen9988 what's swearing got to do with that? Terrorism came from Bush Era the original Bush and the American government
@@zuzangelo007 If I hurt your feelings, I am really Sorry . Yeah that was not a good dialogue. Yeah people's in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan...etc are too innocent that is why they are looted by terrorists and other developed countries . I am really sorry for making that statement. May God bless you.
@@alameen9988 stop apologizing and calm down no one care
Bro be acting like a child smh 😒
The guy with a beard and turban that you saw on that old Iraqi bill is not a judge but an Arab mathematician called Ibn Al-Haitham from medieval Basra who is known to be the father of modern optics. It’s a shame that some Iraqis don’t know their own history.
Ibn Al hazen is an ABSOLUTE LEGEND!! he is considered the first scientist!
@Leo messi that true but many ppl don't know geography or history of most countries. Look at the dark ages in Europe. Ibn Al hazen was considered the first scientist because he was the first to quantify measurements and testing experiments ✅🌿🕊️
@Leo messi Saudi Arabia?
@Leo messi I'm American, not Iraqi. Iraq got pillaged by the military industrial complex and many more. The west stole so much from the middle east in illegal wars. And then isis came and stole the rest. Very sad.
@Leo messi Turkey stole much from Syria and Iraq too. But because they are NATO ally they are supported by the west
Luke they didn’t meant to say f word to u they was like kidding cuz they don’t know other word to say lol
Exactly ❤
Yea exactly
When he told you, "Fuck you," he didn't mean to offend you, no, on the contrary, just because he didn't know any other word because he heard it a lot in movies or series. 30:42
22:00The man said to the young man, “Take him to Ghassan, the owner of the money.. to help you convey a beautiful picture of Iraq. Wow, the man is really cool.”
Thank goodness for another video - I've been waiting! Loved your impression of sleeping on a train, it was spot on! 😂
Brave dudes, I really like your videos stay as long as possible in Iraq and let us have fan together ❤️🌸🌸
Iraq looks beautiful and vibrant. Much love from Lebanon❤️🇱🇧
Much love to Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and Syria! ✅🌿🕊️

You 2 seem like very good young men. I wish you 2 success. Very nice content. 👍🇨🇦
love it man
Luke really missing you upload daily
I’ve seen a version of this video on Mac’s channel, good gob 😊, the guy at the currency exchange shop apparently doesn’t have those old bills in stock but he offered to order some for you since he can’t sell you the one you were holding simply because it’s not his, it belongs to the other guy. So basically you were talking to the wrong person😉, thankfully Mac was there and he understood the situation so he offered the money to the actual owner😊 take care😊
lol the interaction at the end was super funny,
I like it your channel, loves from Sweden 🇸🇪
Welcome and have fun inn iraq 🇮🇶:)

My beloved's secret to safety, my country, Iraq, has good people, do not worry, and go to the farthest point from my beloved country, so that the world knows what the media reports about Iraq and the ugliness of people, and this is not true, people are generous, they love every person who comes to them

I never thought in my life that I would like a KZheadr that travels this much I love your videos and keep up the hard work
all the respect to a humble person like you, You doing great, i like the message you're trying to share with the world about the real middle eastern people. a small yet "important" issue, why'd you have to chew food so loudly ))).
❤
Amazing Habibi 😁
Hi Luke , so you still are eating cheese paratha (started off in Islamabad, Pakistan). Good to see you in action in Iraq, looking forward to your upcoming videos . Cheers !
We missed you bro .please everyday we need vlogs
More coming bro 🙏
@@LukeDamant I watched your blogs before and then gave up because of studying and then came back to continue watching them now, it's unbelievable I wanted to comment on a specific part. Please do not be upset by the words of those who said “fuck you” because the majority do not know its meaning and also perhaps the only english word he knows, you did nothing wrong and there is nothing wrong with your clothes either also, I tip my hat to you for your patience with the coin man. If I were in your place, I would have thrown the coin and ran away 🤣
Cool vlog guys. Love your accent lol. Big thumbs up from a fellow creator 👍
Please visit Federal Iraq. I'd love to see more creators visiting. I recommend going Spring or Fall to avoid extreme heat/cold.
realy sorry for hearing that word. You are a very goed person and my respect to you. Have a nice trip.
Welcome to my country, Iraq. I hope you enjoy your trip ♥️🇮🇶
The funniest thing about the whole money exchange fiasco was that the original shop that you wanted to go to literally opened back up whilst you guys were talking 😆
Really!!! I can't stop laughing🤣🤣 U have a keen eye bro.
Hi, I'm a friend from Spain. I was also in Cairo and Luxor Egypt in October of this past year. I really liked it as I see that you also liked it. you are welcome to my city Madrid Spain 🇪🇦
This is Iraq, not Egypt 😂 I can see a lot of similarities though
Nice Video
Luke aliyoo..😍 how are you bro!
i suggest you to come to kirkuk which is a mixture of kurds and arabic and turkish traditional
What a beautiful lady at the coffee shop I need to travel to Iraq and the food looks delicious
You very welcome
😅👍 I got tired while buying old Iraqi money 😴 Great one again Luke 😊👏
Real talk your friend is not a friend no matter what country you both wait to experience the food and culture together
welcome to iraq bro
I hope you visit Basra again … 🤍
the funniest vlog ever Hahaha
World Nomac just solved the problem very smooth 29:12 This him, This you 😂
The start of your vlog made me chuckle. They’re playing 50 all they way over there lol?
Ayeeeeeee you my favourite KZheadr
Thanks so much :)
Good see u bro 👋
Merry Xmas brother
The owner of the shop from which he bought a military shirt says to him at 16:10: What is this camera? Is there someone you are talking to via live broadcast, but he does not understand the language?
Hey Luke, I’ve been watching your videos for a while. I was wondering if you plan on visiting the Philippines?
The best part of the video is you negotiating to buy the old money! 👏👏👏
Basra hahaha they played in da club from the airport to the city 😂😂😂 that hotel is near by my home in there , god damn i miss my basra
I hope you will translate the video in Arabic and welcome to Iraq my friend
Don't worry Luke it's not about the shirt you're wearing or anything, this guy just doesn't know that what he said is actually insulting, If he did then he would've not had said it to you, also I think he meant as a joke from the fact the he only know three English words :'). So basically just ignore it and have a nice trip. 😊
Hello, I am one of your most loyal followers from Iraq. I would like to ask you what is the small camera that you use to photograph the vlogs? Thanks a lot🤝😍
Always fun to see how you chew the food 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✌✌
fun in a not fun kind of way
New subscriber here😃
The money exchange bit was too funny😂
POST MORE 😭
Happy new year Luke!

The guy in the Bob Marley shirt shop was asking if you were using the camera to livestream for your friend to watch
