I've heard they may give people with Syrian and Lebanese stamps a hard time at the border, but will almost always still allow them to enter.<br /><br />Scott, I've been in Damascus for over six weeks now and can attest that it is very different than Aleppo. I feel much more comfortable here, but that could be as much "getting used to" Syria as opposed to any differences between Aleppo and Damascus.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments!Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573913416415587225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217901017009965211.post-86534510618712687292010-11-15T01:48:58.233-05:002010-11-15T01:48:58.233-05:00I lived in Beirut for a year and visited Damascus ...I lived in Beirut for a year and visited Damascus and Palmyra. I wonder just how different you would find Damascus.<br /><br />You might bear in mind that in the middle ages, European visitors from places like London and Paris were overwhelmed by the size and diversity of Islamic cities such as Aleppo and Damascus. Perhaps things have not changed much for the western visitorScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014539674931829543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217901017009965211.post-17606364454080098632010-11-14T07:18:26.680-05:002010-11-14T07:18:26.680-05:00Do you have any plans to come to Israel?

All those stamps from Arab countries will raise a few eyebrows.Jonahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14596761007403558778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217901017009965211.post-80612099574339617212010-11-12T12:54:15.314-05:002010-11-12T12:54:15.314-05:00Perhaps one day, Byron!

It takes some getting used to if you've never been to the Middle East, but it is extremely safe here, and the people are very friendly!

As I read your post I got that reassured, it would be really scary. But I bet the place was such an amazing experience in every way. And that view from above is breathtaking really, nothing like I've ever seen in my entire life!<br /><br />xxx Charlie<br />http://www.femininebravery.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129193806089803877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217901017009965211.post-32983183449074741962010-11-08T18:43:02.816-05:002010-11-08T18:43:02.816-05:00Adam, great posts, looking forward to more.
