    Hi Sly, when I was a teenager like any other in the Arab world I was a big fan of Nizar Qabbani, a well known Syrian poet, I never really understood some of his poetry about Damascus, but when I went there and as I was walking in this alley in old Damascus, the breeze shook up the branches of a jasmine tree and heavens rained soft petals over me and this fragrant night breeze finally helped me understand what Nizar’s poems in love for Damascus were all about. Wish Syria and Syrians all the best. Another great vlog, thanks. Ps. I think you’re lucky you had this guide, he seems like good company. Best regards.

When I came to America it was the first time I felt the wind on my head, it was a beautiful experience.

    Thanks for the video. Nice to see not just normalcy but vibrancy in a country that most people outside it think is wracked with strife. Just a suggestion: it would have been useful to mention the cost (in equivalent USD) of each of the two desserts you had. The ice-cream looked fantastic. Will keep following your travels.

    Cumin helps to reduce wind when eating beans, "fool" equals beans in English. My husband used to make a breakfast called "fòol medames" or something

    Although you don’t appreciate the architectural ruins, most people travel to Syria to see it. It’s amazing and shows building techniques that we can’t do today. Street life is fun but you are missing one of the finest experiences of your life by not trying to understand how unique the ancient architecture is and showing your viewers.

    I do like the policy of You must have a Tour Guide. Win Win all the way around. They get employment for the family unit, tour guide can get you places easier and quicker, they can show You places that are beautiful ( from the looks of the land I bet Syria has awesome Countryside) I’m an American, wouldn’t mind at all having to go get a Tour Guide
