I traveled to Iraq as a tourist. In episode 1 of my new series I fly into Baghdad and hit the streets and markets to get a feel for the city. In this video I try some delicious Iraqi food, hit some famous (and infamous) historical sites, and give you my first impressions of the country. Tune in next Wednesday when I'll be heading to a football match between Iraq and UAE.

Why don’t they promo your stuff on the main Barstool accounts?! Your travel vlogs are no lie a million times better than any others on RU-vid. I think Don is the only one that truly captures the culture and atmosphere of the places he visits.

You think all the barstool frat boys want to see content that shows Iraq and China aren't awful places and they've been lied to, would go against all their politics. Imagine a pro-iraqi video on barstool main account haha the followers brains would melt

My senses were assaulted by the streets and markets of Baghdad (but in a good way). Tune in next Wednesday to see what a professional football (soccer) match is like in Iraq.

I recently read several articles that claim Iraq has been dealing with a Crystal Meth epidemic. I wonder if you'll see any signs of this during your trip. Keep up the great work WD. Really appreciate your intrepid travel vlogs.

@leonardwei3914 Год назад

My first deployment was to Baghdad in 2005. Despite the low level insurgency still going on at the time (which would fluctuate up and down), I objectively enjoyed my time there working with the Iraqi people on the ground and getting to know a little of their culture, language and food. I remember being on the banks of the Euphrates and awestruck at how many civilizations came and went in that spot alone. I often said I wouldn't mind coming back in the future and be able to walk down the street as a just a civilian guest without my rifle and body armor. Can't wait to see more of this series Donnie.

@arcarioandsons Год назад

It really is kinda weird sometimes how funny and lighthearted this content can seem, that you have to take a second to step back and really appreciate the fact that these people are so marginalized in the international scope of things.... So to have someone shine a light on their culture and expose people to what life is really like there vs what you've been told in the news... That's really awesome! This is human history being told as accurately as it's ever been told, I can't thank you enough for making this content! This is incredibly important, that we bridge the gaps between cultures and bring people together!
