Usually I only get up there by complaining.
I saw no comments from Chinese people this time
There are two Rotana hotels in Erbil and one in Baghdad called Babylon Rotana. Presidential security level. Erbil has never experienced a war or attack, and the security check is also strict. There are two security guards with real machine guns at the entrance (confirmed). Before entering the gate, there will be another two security guards with small mirrors to check that there is no boomboom installed on the bottom of the car. Yes. Checking the trunk, blah blah blah, more stringent than at the airport. Then you have to go through security check before entering the lobby. The exterior walls are explosion-proof. I asked the staff why it is so safe here. It is said that many presidents and prime ministers will stay at Rotana when they come, but they usually choose another hotel, and the security is no problem at all.
But be careful, if you rent a car to go to Mosul, you have to ask the driver whether he speaks Kurdish or Arabic. The driver I encountered was completely unable to communicate. The other person's English was like I said Chengmen Louzi and he spoke Hipbone Axis. The pronunciation and pronunciation are the smallest, and the key point is that it is easy to miscommunicate if the lips are wrong. It is difficult for me to be anxious and angry. The driver cannot communicate and is so angry that I am speechless... I handed the driver my mobile phone and the translator page. The driver also Not to mention... I feel very tired... Because I booked it with a hotel, I called the hotel and they couldn't understand where I was going... I covered my phone and held up the map and said, ”Listen to me, follow the map, I know where to go.” , the driver just didn’t listen (couldn’t understand) and the 15-minute journey took us the last 3 hours.
I don’t write travel notes, so I’ll say one more thing here. Several thousand-year-old ruins in Mosul have been almost destroyed. The local area is not protected and anyone can touch and step on them. Because I couldn't communicate with them (mainly because the driver was causing trouble inside), I really couldn't understand... The police at the door first said they were not allowed in. I saw that they were not allowed in and planned to leave. As soon as I turned around, I was called back and said that Britain is good and China is good. Then he said he would take me in but not take pictures. I spent 3 minutes looking at a few ruins from the Nineveh period that had absolutely no protection measures (guess). When I went out, the police pulled the driver and asked him to pay at least 200 knives? ? ? ? I? ? ? ? I thought I heard it wrong. After all, the driver’s English was really poor. I turned on the translator and gave it to the police. At this time, he was afraid that I was recording. Let him say that he is a bastard child, and say on the translator that you will give him at least 50 dollars to help him? Help with what? The corruption in the entire Iraq from top to bottom is really disgusting. These policemen still pulled me like a monkey to take pictures. I was not traveling on a budget, nor did I come to see how miserable people’s lives were in war zones after the war. I also refused to take photos of people’s faces, so I refused their requests for photos. It didn’t matter if the locals were refused, but the police were very embarrassed. Later, by chance, I met the little boss of the embassy in the beautiful country. After a few days of traveling behind the scenes, I never got angry again. The police in the ruins of Mosul are really rubbish, moths! ! ! ! ! Rubbish! ! ! ! !
Very Good
