Out of control monkeys are one of many unpredictable things that can happen at the bazaar in Sulaymaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan. I was just starting my day when I heard a ruckus in the tunnel underneath. I had taken a glance and couldn't believe my eyes. It was a monkey running around with people chasing it.

Instantly I grabbed the camera and went to the center of action. It turned out that someone's pet monkey had been unchained and out of control in Sulaymaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan. The drama was quick but well worth the distraction. Eventually the out of control monkey found his cage and went inside, after a brief confrontation with another monkey on his chain.

Thinking that I was going to solely make a video about buying a one way ticket to Baghdad, I was not sure how to present the magic. But it just goes to show you how exciting life in Iraqi Kurdistan is. A simple trip to the travel agency turns into a full scale monkey fight on the street.

Incredible moments here in Sulaymaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan.
