It's the little things

It's the little things here. Covering your head when you go out and not making eye contact especially with the opposite sex Planes and helicopters constantly flying overhead, and knowing they are military! Toilet paper going in the bucket beside the toilet rather than in the toilet Blast film on the windows Guns and blast doors everytime you enter a restaurant or coffeeshop Barbed wire covering most walls Bullet holes in the walls Being unable to walk freely in certain areas of the city because of security concerns The call to prayer Weekends being Friday and Saturday Armoured vehicles UN vehicles Some of these things are seen in other countries round the world as well, but it's been the little things here that have made this place stand out!
