The second biggest city in Syria is Aleppo (Halab), also a very old and a noble city. While it has a great mosque dating back to Umayyad dinasty as well, it is not much to look at from outside and non-muslims can't enter it.Attached Files"I realise I hold the key to freedom,

Also, Aleppo has a large christian population, at least a quater of its citizens
are christian. One of the reasons for it is presence of Armenians expelled from the north.
As we may suspect, they don't like Turks very much. Here am I in Armenian cathedral of 40 martyrs ... Behind me You can see two Armenians, Mesrop Mashtoc and St Gregory probably, and an eagly (Armenia) killing a snake (Turkey).Attached Files"I realise I hold the key to freedom,

The third biggest city of Syria is Hama. Much of it was destroyed during a fundamentalist Muslim Brothers uprising against the gouverment. But what the city is proud of the most, the nurias, survived. Nurias are great wheels that bring water of Orontes/Al-Asi river on a higher level for irrigate the land around it. See, one of them moved!Attached Files"I realise I hold the key to freedom,

Here's a park next to nurias. I like this picture a lot. The park itself was filled with young men very willing to get to know us, to the point strange even for Syria. they didn't annoy me much, but my friends (all but one were boys) thought that perhaps this park is kind of Sibki park in Damascus, next to polish embassy, which is claimed to be sort of gay park.
i don't think they were of this kind. Some things men do here would be obviously gay in Poland, but here are not. Like going by the hand with another guy (not so often seen here as I've heard it is), winking at someone (that was new to me) etc.Attached Files"I realise I hold the key to freedom,
