Every December our region celebrates Flag Day. There was a time in the Saddam era when it was illegal to display the K flag. Now they are everywhere and flown with pride. On Flag Day the children all go to school wearing traditional costumes or peshmerga (army) uniforms and the children perform songs, dances, poems in front of their fellow students. This year K decided that -along with her best friend and classmate who comes to karate with her- they would perform a karate routine! I was surprised by how brave she was to do it. It went down very well with everyone!
