For just about two years, most of us Naz CIty residents have been wondering why it is that upon our return home each day that we are greeted with such an overwhelmingly strong smell of petrol it is like a sharp stinging slap in the face. Many of us have been worried that it was due to some kind of gas or petrol leak that could end in something dire.
Mystery Solved?
I have recently been informed that it is not in fact petrol, but kerosene. Could it really be true that the cleaners clean the stone floor in the hallways and stairs with kerosene? If so, I hope that none of my smoker neighbors (or guests) light up on their way in or out.
PS. Is it normal to clean anything but engines with kerosene?
About Me
- Zanmei
- A friend in Taiwan characterized me as someone seeking stability in risky environments. If she knew I had relocated to Northern Iraq, she would probably feel she had been proven right... But the truth is, life is quiet here... so far. But it's true that I love the challenge of figuring out yet another new place. I wonder if my curiosity will ever be completely satisfied. Charlie Chan said, "Curiosity responsible for cat needing nine lives." I only have one, so I better satisfy as much as possible before it runs out... or hope that I come back as a cat.

Hello,
I work for War News Radio, an American student-run radio show about Iraq and Afghanistan. I am currently working on a story about new housing developments in Kurdistan (such as Naz City). Would you be willing to tell us about your life in Naz City through a telephone interview? My email is kagoeckner@warnewsradio.org. Thanks so much.
