Syria day 2
Very tired, but enthusiastic about all the wonderful things I have seen. Damascus is an incredible city, I took lots of pictures, no idea when I will be able to post. Today I saw two monasteries from aramaic times. Impressive! Now we are in Homs, a very wealthy and businesslike city in the center of Syria.
No whatsoever climate of tension perceptible here, people watch the news about Egypt but similar to how we in Europe watch them.. worried in general, but not really concerned or involved for themselves. No upheavals for sure here, everybody says that.
Tomorrow, I have to hold my 8-hour seminar, then on Tuesday it is back to Damascus, and Tuesday night flying back to Munich, with a 2 hour stopover at 4 am in Istanbul.. fun.
I miss Facebook, it is closed here (not because of the upheavals, it has never been available).
Anybody noticed if these LJ entries which I am posting publicly do arrive also on Facebook? I have no idea if the settings work. I receive LJ comments, but no FB comments.
Ok, need to sleep now, it is already much to late. See you soon, Insh´allah!x
