Last night I explored Baghdad’s nightlife. At a nightclub on Abu Nawas Street I befriended a sheikh from Anbar province. He invited me to come to visit him soon.
The nightclub itself is hardly a nightclub to western standards, but there is booze and loud (Iraqi) music. According to my guide waitresses are available as prostitutes, but you cannot take them home right away. The proper route is to ask the waitress for her phone number and to give her a shout the next day.
