"J'y ai même trouvé les ambassades et représentations de nombreux pays tels que l'Iraq et blablabla"
=> "J'y ai même trouvé" from "I found there" +"even"
=> "tels que l'Iraq" from "as Iraq"
"J'y ai même trouvé...."
=> the word "même" is there to insist on the fact that even countries as Iraq were found there.

one more thing....all of you used some tense form or just form that is unknown to me....could you please explain that?
"J`y ai trouvé ...." what is it? it doesn`t really look like passé composé...or is it?
"y" represents the place. Like in "j'y vais", for "I'm going there".
"y" also replaces things if there is "à" before. For instance:
- je participe à un forum > j'y participe
- je pense à mon pays > j'y pense
But if you talk about persons and not things, then you can't use "y" :
- je pense à ma mère > je pense à elle
- je téléphone à Paul > je lui téléphone
It is also used in some expressions, like "ça y est" (that's it).
Voilà !

Hehe, "y" is one of those tricky things that make french language so coolDemona wrote: eee.....then why is that "y" there?*really confused*
... and difficult !We have some others like "en" as in erm... "J'EN AI MARRE DE LA FAC !"
Aaaah... feeling better now
