    It's only interesting to be watched by a tourist!
    I guess nobody will need to buy some in Syria!
    Any way it's charging the atmosphere with exotically feelings and impressions!

    This is tradition from the oldest time!
    Since Aleppo was in the Silk Road location, this business has been founded!

    Hmmmm you have also a big choice, but prices are much better!
    For a good old piece it's between 5$ to 100$
    By the way if the silver is ancient do not worry that it's not shining... Sellers here are so proud of selling old ancient Pieces!

    Soap "Al Ghar"
    They say it's very good antidandruff cure!
    Oh Ghar is really good and it's a local product which came from land of Beiloon!!!!
    ha ha ha ha actually land of Beiloon dose not exist it's like the never land or fairy tales!
    But people in Aleppo always made jokes about it!
    So a ghar soap is maximum with the price of 10$

    Gold also in Syria is the only guaranty in the black day!
    You sell it and have money to save your day!

    Wonderful shop where you can buy anything you need!
    For sure it looks cozy and cute and you can have a rest and they'll offer you a cup of tea or Arabic coffee, but you should know that prices here are really much expensive!

    Wood Boxes
    This is what Syria is really very famous in!
    So great hand work awesome boxes will coast you between 2$ minimum up to 200$
    Of course size and decoration and the master who did it and also the age and the quality of wood are all factors of the high price!

    Pascale and her cat in Aleppo.
    I don't know who is the cat between them!
    I had 12 cats one day and here's the interesting story:
    Once upon a time …
    Chapter one: Lena!!!
    All began that I had a female cat I called her Lena..
    She lived between our street and our flat…
    As you know how independent cats are…
    Then she got pregnant and we had 4 gorgeous Kitty’s …
    Well we thought there’s a male between the 4 and what do you think ….all of them were females.
    Never mind our Lena died in an accident…
    But we thought her 4 kitty’s are our responsibility.
    Chapter 2: 12 Kitty’s!!!
    Well they all growled up and what’r you know…
    They all in March got pregnant ..
    Each of the 4 cats had 3 Kitty’s but this time there were 3 Males…
    As the hot summer strikes the town our Kitchen backyard started to smells bad because of there Kakies…
    So were the large number of fly’s…
    Chapter 3: Dad is Mad!!!
    My daddy reached a difficult status
    He faced me hard with the facts:
    Son it’s either me or these cats here…!!!
    So I couldn’t Negotiate long of course…and I gathered all the big family except 2 males : “Simba” and “Johnny” !!!
    I putted the 10 cats in the trunk and drive far and kissed them with the tears in my eyes and left them near a garbage yard….
    Chapter 4: The 2 devils:
    Yep… they growled up but very soon they left us in chase for their Basic instinct …
    I thought they should come back as they loved me and I always played and kissed and gave them food…but a cat is a cat especially when it’s a male!

  • The Living Wisdom - Aleppo
    The Living Wisdom
    by dr.firas
    Send Photo to a Friend
    The Power of Life:
    TIME: spring
    PLACE: our street square
    SUBJECT: a young tree!
    Dr.Firas’s Lynx Eyes: Today I walked beside that tree in an ally very near to our flat in our street.
    I watched Neighbors and people who were walking beside that tree without paying attention of the great wisdom, which was offered.
    They were looking everywhere and sometimes to the direction of that tree without noticing, as if the tree was transparent.
    I was about to shout and yelling:“ People can’t you see…?”
    “Why you’re not opening your eyes a little bit.
    Is it so hard to feel the life and be close to the nature we left?”
    “It’s giving us wisdom for free; all it demands is to have seconds just to look with the eyes of our hearts.”
    This tree was stronger than any Block or stone or cement or even metal.
    It destroyed the metal cage, which was coating the tree.
    The roots pushed and moved the Blocks out of the street up.
    And the stone Dock was under the pressure of the growing strength until they get broken.
    I said to myself: “this is the wonderful power of life… stronger than anything”!
