Damascus - Syria

Border with Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Jordan.

Spent two days interviewing fitness female instructors for Flex.

Six brave ladies are coming to Kuwait, InShallah.

They want to be better and discover new aproachs for their carees.

We will be together for 2 weeks before they start in the clubs.

Syria, is a poor country, under a kind if comunism. The people is trying hard to get in touch with modernity, but obviously they are being blocked since always.

Politics can destroy development.

History is amazing in this part of the world.

They hold the place Caim killed Abel, biblic ancient history!

The top of this mountain is the monument representing the location.

ALso they claim to have fragments of the Noeh Arc!

My God...

Scary isn't it?

Damascus is a chaotic big capital as any other one.

The trafic is amazingly scary. Again I could not cross any street!

I realized I am too civilized to be in places where people is no respected! 

Dirty, noise, people staring at me as I was an allien (they noticed?), and very good food. 

Souks, many mosques, most all women dress the same: Black poor abaia, white hijab or a long coat and colorful hijab.

Actually, to buy coats there must be a very good idea.

and also clothes to work, since they are discret and elegant.

I will come back, I can say. I hope with more time and more knowledge. The museums must be very interesting.
