Back in old, boring Denmark now. Now I said I would take a lot of pictures, but actually I was so busy enjoying my time in Colemêrg that I rarely took any at all..which I'm regretting now of course.
This trip was so wonderful, because I have learnt everything about life there and I don't need everyone's help all the time. Before it was like, ehm; I didn't even know how to shower properly or go to the market by myself, but now there's nothing I can't do..except speak kurdish of course. Inshallah I'll be able to stay there longer time soon so I can start learning for real. I'm going to ask for help in the lyrics section any time soon because there's some songs I have been loving forever but just been too shy to ask about their meanings here. But now I wanna sing in kurdish
The military always give me so many problems when I go to Colemêrg, they always think I'm up to something sneaky somehow. But I got there and it was all worth it because I love my in laws so much and Colemêrg is my home now. I finally bought a silver belt which can be seen in the pictures, and some kurdish outfits as well. So anyway...these pictures are pretty much just usual vacation pictures but have a look anyway.

Breakfast in Colemêrg..wish I had taken the photo before I had finished it though..


Going on a picnic with my brother in law and his friends just about 30 minutes from Colemêrg centrum


Prettiness! Colemêrg is so wonderful


The following pictures are from a day where all the girls dressed up because the guys were going to the mountains to work

With my sister in law


With my brother in laws daughter


With my sister in law and her daughter


With another sister in law


With my brother in law


And with another one

They are wearing these clothes because they just got back from working in the mountains, and I had just come back from visiting an imam, no teasing :p

My brother in law, who's learning playing the saz. We'd stay up for hours in the night playing and talking


With my mother in law <3


My brother in laws daughter who's wedding I was supposed to attend, but I arrived 2 days too late. We went to Gewer to see her and her new in-laws. This is her, with her new husband and my husbands sister.


And finally me

OMG...

I am SO impressed with you...

WOW - God bless you... I think you are the greatest thing that ever happened to Colemêrg since 1923...

You fit right in - no sweat at all... That is realy well done, sis... May I have your permission to fuse your topic (with all content) into "BEAUTIFUL KURDISTAN"? These are so lovely pictures...

And you said you hardly had time...


By the way - you look fabulous in Kurdish clothes... And it looks like you enjoyed wearing them - you look comfortable and relaxed...

Thank you so much for sharing - I realy truely enjoyed that!

Go ahead and fuse the topics

[proudkurd]

[sicpit]

hm, when I go to Kurdistan, perhaps I could wear the clothes that a Yezidi shex would wear

[azade_]

sicpit - what's that?

Thanks for the compliments guys

Actually I do really enjoy dressing up in kurdish clothes when we're going to parties. I must have attended my first 50 weddings already It's a unique and beautifulexperience every time and I just LOVE dancing, although I don't know all of them yet.

Here's some pictures from my first trip to north Kurdistan in October/November 2005:

Bidlîs:




Colemêrg: - all of these are taking in the outskirts of the centre of Colemêrg, where most of my in laws live

My husband

Hay fields

I took loads of pictures on that trip but they're mostly of people. Later I'll post some of my second trip there.

By the way does anyone know where I can buy kurdish male clothes? I want my husband to wear it, I think it looks really sexy

[quote="azade_"]sicpit - what's that?

Shex = Shiekh

Anyway this is what I was saying I could dress up as
