english in damascus



My cousin was in Lebanon when Hezbollah announced that they had captured two Israeli soldiers and the bombs started to fly. All the Europeans left to Syria on buses, but the Americans in the country had a harder time getting into Syria. Finally, my cousin and the others he was traveling with were able to get 48 hour visas into Syria so they could land in Jordan. Along the way they stopped in Damascus and found this ludicrously funny box of cereal. I'm glad he was able to find some humor amidst the terror.
