The blog I looked at was titled Blogging Baghdad: The Untold Story. In this blog, bloggers try to bring the real life living conditions of residents in Baghdad to light. It is hard for Americans to realize what daily living conditions in Baghdad are like because they are so far from our own here at home, however, this blog may clear up a few questions.
The living conditions in Baghdad are very hard. Daily living expenses have severely risen due to the lack of necessities. Water and electricity as well as many other needed items are in short supply therefore raising the prices to very high levels.
However, the higher expenses are not the real problem for Baghdad residents. The real trouble is leaving the house alive and coming back in one piece. People must be constantly on the watch for bombings, ambushes, cross-fire, etc. For hard working people in Baghdad, simply going to work is a dangerous event.
The mood of the blog was a bit depressing. Hearing these horrible stories was very hard to listen to. It is very hard trying to imagine living like those in Baghdad. After reading this, I no longer taking life for granted, for any moment in Baghdad, an individual can be killed for no reason and Baghdad residents must live in these conditions for which they cannot control.
