The entrance floor of the Baghdad Al-Rashid hotel, very close to one of Saddam's palaces. In this hotel the international journalist's crew was 'imprisoned' during the first episode of the second Gulf war (1991). One day after the journalists finally left the hotel, George Bush Sr. bombed this building, causing numerous death. Meanwhile the hotel was rebuild and furnished with this luxury mosaic! |

In front of the entrance of the Al-Mansour hotel this bus was parked, belonging to a group of Rumanian activists. The hysterical texts on the windows stimulate the imagination. |
