Drinking The Culture Away
This award winning photo of the #Preserve_Cultural_Diversity photo contest placing the seventh winner, portrays an old man wearing his traditional Kurdish clothes as he used to when he was younger, and drinking the most common of the drinks among Kurds for centuries, Chai, as he goes to the oldest remaining chai serving place (Chaixana) in the heart of Sulaymaniyah city, Sara.
The remaining of the traditional looking place as it's shown in the background, as well as the living culture that still lives to this day while a TV is hanging on the wall, proves that we have been preserving our traditional cultural norms even in this era of technology.
