I applied for a syrian visa today. I will be going to Syria 25th of this month, for a month. It will be nice to see old good Damascus again, though it will not be the same without my friends Some are visiting Syria, actually, but not in the same time.

And this is what the suq looks like
Notice the enchanting light, and the corresponding bulletholes in the roof

Aleppo.

I usally don't hang out much in Damascus. Is there any place there where I can have a beer outside? I allways find myself confined to the big hotels, where I;ll have to sit inside.

I like the closet Bar on Strait street though .

I'm sure You were longing to see some new syrian posters. Here is one. It's nice, because it is in an appropriate place: it shows Bashshar and the greek-catholic cathedral, and the picture was taken next to this cathedral.
