Communication lines

Dohuk, Iraq

An idea of what the wiring systems are like in this part of the world.

This sign is a great myth in this region.
Korek mobile is owned by Mustafa Barzani or somebody from his family.
That is the only reason such an unreliable service is still continuing.
Rival networks are banned from the region.

I apologise for my whinge but the phone system is down again!!

Puts my broadband problems into perspective! Do you travel with spare fuses and rubber gloves?

Perfect illustration of the sociological concept of "Amoral Familism".

Wow.. the words on the sign seem to go with the disarray and manic criss-crossing of wires.. well seen and taken
