Palmyra -Roman Ruins











I went to this small desert town with Ellen and fell in love with the beauty of the landscape around this ancient Roman ruins. We stayed here two nights to explore more and take a lot of photos.

Being in Damascus

This is one of rooms that I had stayed in a budget hotel near the old city.

How many cats are there on the rooftop?

I have been in Damascus more than three weeks. In the first two weeks, I had some trouble to settle myself into a new life here. After living in a budge hotel for 15 days and traveling with others to some nearby towns, I figure out a little by little how to survive in this unfamiliar but friendly country.
