It's important for our neighborhood and a few of the other neighborhoods around because if you're looking for somewhere else to pray, it might take you up to a 30 minutes drive until you get there. It's a gorgeous garden like most Mosques do. As a kid I used to go there with my dad. But growing up, it became a bit more difficult since the mosque does not have a women's hall.]]> 2020-07-11 17:21:33 UTC https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652350545 Parkyeolaa https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652351052 This is the college of dentistry that is like 15 minutes away by bike. I've been there twice on a school trip. I'm close friends with the dean's son so basically this might be my future college lol. Jk I'm not even into dentistry*]]> 2020-07-11 17:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652351052 Parkyeolaa https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652352800 This is a random garden along the side of a pedestrians bridge over the Euphrates river! I wanted to take you guys on a tour in another garden nearby that has birds, rabbits and cats n stuff:( the curfew hours here are not helping me with this at all:(]]> 2020-07-11 17:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652352800 Parkyeolaa https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652353384 Suk is one way to refer for the markets in Iraq. Especially in places nearby houses and residential places. They only provide essentials and stuff that you can't find easily online or in shopping malls like: Mattresses, Kitchen utensils and cutlery, Stationary and a bunch of other random stuff.]]> 2020-07-11 17:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652353384 Parkyeolaa https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652353776 My dad works there. Sometimes when I go out with him and he needs to tour and check on his patients first, he drops me at the hospital's garden, which is super gorgeous! unfortunately I couldn't take pics form the inside:(]]> 2020-07-11 17:31:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652353776 Parkyeolaa https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652354078 Here's the Turkish hotel that has been under construction since 2015*even before the war against ISIS* I'm starting to think I may not live long enough to swim in their pool lol, wait no srsly I wanna swim in their pool:(:(]]> 2020-07-11 17:32:56 UTC https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652354078 Parkyeolaa https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652354334 We have so many of these here but I couldn't find any open ones:( so here's my little sister in front of the closed gardening store that's nearby. Just in case you haven't seen something cute today:)]]> 2020-07-11 17:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652354334 Parkyeolaa https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652355025 My dad's originally from Anbar- Haditha so that's where I'm from. But I was born and raised in Baghdad. Then my parents started working in Ramadi-Anbar so we moved here in 2008..]]> 2020-07-11 17:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/652355025 Parkyeolaa https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/653477668 Women unemployment is really common where I live. If you're a woman looking for a job to help your family or pay for your education, then what you're asking for is almost impossible. I think this has to do with the fact that even men employment opportunities are getting less and less with each day. But the situation is worse with woman because it is seen to be unacceptable for a lady to work in so many fields, this could include discouraging women who want to start their own businesses in opening coffee shops, restaurants, clothing boutiques and so on.]]> 2020-07-13 17:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/653477668 Parkyeolaa https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/653478351 I know about so many young female teenagers who struggled to convince their parents about going back to school and getting a degree. I think that's because here, and among many families, women are expected to take care of two things, and only two, and these are Kitchens and Kids*the two K's*]]> 2020-07-13 17:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/653478351 Parkyeolaa https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/653479423 The previous two issues, in the way I see it. Are a result of a disconnection from the outer world. So many people here live in a bubble and they don't seem to be aware of it. I think if we could get more people to read and connect. More people to have access to educational resources. More people to discuss and reflect. A real change can be made. And I believe this is totally possible!]]> 2020-07-13 17:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/Parkyeolaa/bo1haxcg87iqlzub/wish/653479423
