Subject: Post: Obviously it's totally impossible to find post cards in Iraq. With a local guy (one more random guy who just wanted to help us for an hour, for nothing) we went through maybe 20 shops and everywhere we got the same result: Either there was no postcards at all, or then they were representing something like Iran or just some random forests..<p>We ended up making our own postcards then. We selected a few pictures taken yesterday and the day before in Erbil, added "Erbil, Iraq" text and printed them in a photolab. So, now we have postcards. The next problem will be finding stamps, I guess it's time to go hunting for them now.<p>Tomorrow we will start moving towards Palmyra, Syria for some ancient Roman ruins etc. The area between Mosul and the Syrian border is totally unsafe, so we will have to return the same route we came here to Turkey and then enter Syria from there at Nusaybin.
