Life goes on


The economy is in ruins, ISIS are lined up long the 1000 border but that is no excuse not to be stylish. 

This is one of the large 'style centres' in Erbil. There are about 20 chairs in all and it is packed with young men getting their hair done and the occasional facial.  In addition to those in the actual chairs, the place also accommodates all their friends. It is a racket - several tvs are on, there is music blaring and outside two tea stands continuously ferry in glasses of sweet tea. The women are much more discreet and women's hair salons are thoroughly screened off from prying eyes.
