# 12 Things NOT To Do in Iraq By: http://www.destinationtips.com/ Iraq is a lovely place. So know these 12 Things NOT to Do, before you go! 1. Try Not to stand out Rather than driving fast, surrounded by bodyguards try to blend in as much as possible. Women should dress in local fashion and men should grow out their facial hair. 2. Don't Step On Bread! Bread is a highly treasured food in Iraq. If you happen across a fallen hunk in the street don't step on it or touch it with your feet! 3. Don't Visit the Borders. Don't travel near the Syrian, Turkish, or Iranian borders. You may encounter large refugee flows. 4. Don't Bring Bad Luck. When Iraqis buy a new appliance they will crack an egg over it to wash away any bad luck! Iraqis are very superstitious. 5. Don't Get Jumpy! You often may see a group of Iraqis shouting and firing rifles. But it's just a traditional way of celebrating a wedding or event. Each tribe has a different song. 6. Don't Bring Bad Luck! If an Iraqi buys a new car, he may sacrifice a rooster for good luck. If it's a new house he may sacrifice a lamb! 7. Don't Leave the Safe Zones. Generally speaking, southern Iraq is safer than the Sunni Triangle, and a traveler must be particularly careful in Baghdad, where there are some highly dangerous neighborhoods. 8. DON'T BRING BAD LUCK! Don't be surprised to find an old shoe hanging in a new house! Iraqis are VERY superstitious! 9. Don't Forget Shots! The CDC recommends travelers get Hepatitis A and Typhoid vaccines as you can get these diseases through contaminated food or water in Iraq. 10. Don't Compliment Children! Don't tell an Iraqi how well-behaved or handsome their child is. They believe this could jinx them with The Evil Eye. 11. Don't Eat Around! In many places you may find yourself eating from a communal dish. In this case only take the portion that's directly in front of you. 12. Don't Eat with Your Left Hand! According to the Prophet Muhammad, you should only use your right hand. The left hand is reserved for other things... Now you can enjoy your stay in this stunningly beautiful and diverse country!

Get more Tips here! www.destinationtips.com Many people forgo travel insurance entirely to save themselves some cash, but stocking up on coverage doesn't have to be expensive. So here are 10 awesome travel insurance hacks that will save you money! 1. Bundle Up to Save Many providers will allow you to bundle last-minute cancellation coverage, emergency medical and dental care, and lost and damaged luggage coverage. You can save money by removing services that you may not need. 2. You Might Already Have Coverage Many companies have travel policies included, such as a credit union or your home insurance provider. 3. You Might Not Need That Much Medical Coverage Afterall If you’re going to be engaging in some extreme sports, you’ll need a higher level of insurance. But if you're just taking a regular vacation, you can save by getting the lowest level of coverage. 4. Travel Domestic If you don't plan on leaving the country, selecting a domestic travel insurance package will knock a few extra bucks off of your premium. 5. Shop Around Like There's No Tomorrow An online tool, like this one at www.SquareMouth.com will give you a list of available policies based on where you're going as well as the cost and duration of your trip. 6. Utilize a Travel Rewards Card Many credit cards offer travel insurance, but the Sapphire credit card not only covers accidents, luggage, and trip interruption, but allows you to rack up points towards your travel expenses and dining! 7. Consider How Much You Travel If you're frequently jet-setting all over the world, it's more cost effective to purchase an annual policy. 8. Take Advantage of Group Fares Vacationing in groups is one of the easiest ways to save on travel insurance. When you package your insurance with multiple people it will reduce your overall cost dramatically. 9. Keep Track of Receipts Purchasing travel protection for your valuables means your record-keeping system needs to be impeccable. Claiming theft won't do you any good if you don't have the paperwork to back up your purchase. 10. Take Care of Yourself Insurance Policies include fine print stipulating you must take reasonable care of yourself! So if you drink too many at an Irish pub, fall off a barstool and break your leg, you may not be covered! Have you got any Travel Hacks of your own?

Get more Tips here! http://www.destinationtips.com Just when you thought you already knew everything there is to know about long haul flights, we bring you these 8 secrets you wouldn't even imagine! Are you ready? Let's do it! 1) Secret Bedrooms On long haul flights we usually spend most of the time sleeping because they're so incredibly boring... and long. However, whilst you’re comfortably sat there being bored, the cabin crew are busily working away and they need to rest too. That’s why on most flights they have a secret bedroom area hidden from the passengers, with bunk beds and a private bathroom so that they can read, sleep or rest as they prefer. 2) Farty Air There can be around 400 people on any one flight, all casually farting into the cabin’s recirculated air system. Even the air from the toilet is all being breathed in by the passengers. The air that’s aboard when you take off is the same air that you’re breathing when you land! Okay, that’s false. A well-propagated urban myth. Although the air is recirculated, it is refreshed with outside air 20 times every hour. That’s nearly twice as many times as in an average office and uses the same HEPA filters. 3) Single Use For their A380 Airbus flights Qantas prepare over 7.5 million dinners every year. That’s a lot of meals, all cooked in huge hangars by 105 chefs to then be re-heated on each flight. However, along with the 500 meals that are heated and then thrown away are 70 menus, (first class menus only) 2,500 plastic cups and 5,000 plastic utensils. On every flight! 4) Baggage Delays cost Airlines 7.3 million dollars a year. If you’re the slow souvenir shopper who holds up the flight, you’re not only despised by the rest of the passengers, but by the airline. Sure the plane will wait, but only whilst they fish out your suitcase and send it back to the airport. It’s against airline policy to haul a suitcase without an owner... 5) Kitchen Simulator You’ve heard of a flight simulator? Well some airlines have a kitchen simulator… When you eat a meal at 30’000 feet, it doesn’t taste the same as if you were to eat it at ground level. Because of the low humidity (lower in fact than in a desert) it dries out your nasal canal, and the high pressure also affects taste buds. So most airline food is loaded with salt and extra seasoning. Of course the chefs can’t just guess what will taste good up in the air, so they have a special sealed room in the cooking hangar, which simulates the pressure and humidity of the cabin. 6) A Rhino in the Cargo Hold Qantas flies around 65,000 animals a year in the cargo hold, so the crew often hear lots of dogs barking and whining. On the average long haul flight, they usually fly with six/ten animals among cats, dogs and even ex ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHRGQ6ajTT8
