"To the impartial eye, the world not only seems an unlikely one-off phenomenon, but a constant strain on reason. If reason exists, that is, if a neutral reason exists. So speaks the voice from within. So speaks Joker's voice." - Jostein Gaarder
syria is the kind of place where, within minutes of your arrival, you are transported into an old, 35mm, black and white family movie state, where achingly beautiful scenes bring you back to a not-so-far-away past where life was a bit more simple and pleasures were a bit less hard to reach.Jimmy, has a wonderful recollection of his Syria visit, with a number of breathtaking photos.

Grew up in Latakia, Syria. and spending a lot of time between Homs, Damascus and Beirut... With a huge crush on technology and computers in my early years, Struggling with Japanese, and trying to get my Bachelor in IT from NIT... I'm obsessed with the overwhelming concept of "Humanity"... I'm obsessed with my beautiful Syria, and the possibilities for cultural, social and political change in Syria...

This is how I imagine Mediterranean east coast lands too.

Syria is THE ignored treasure of the ME; it is serendipity made country

I am so in love with Syria from the cities I have visited whic are Homs, Lattakia, Tartus, and Damascus. I have been more than 4 times to Lattakia and for relatively long stays. I also visited Damascus for a weekend with our photography tutors and thus I saw and experienced Damascus through the lens of a camera and that alone is a very different experience. It allows for a deeper inspection and as Jimmy says, it becomes evident that Syria is not just any Middle Eastern Country....
