wow it's been a while eh? trust me we've been wanting to write on here as much as you've been wanting to read ( we hope lol). anyhow, we are both doin well and have finally reached --- after a long 30 hrs of travel! hmmmm so what can i say...its different here - but different in a good way. definitely a culture shock but we're adjusting quit well i must say. for one gettin used to the 'chaotic order' here...what we would consider a road or lane for 1 car is used for 6 cars here(busses, cars, vans, cyclists, pedestrians...we still haven't figured out who has the right of way)...it is definitely an art to drive here...the people here have mastered a skill that i can't even attempt. another is that here 'rules are meant to be broken' not sometimes, but all the time, wait i dont think there are many rules...but that all aside...the people here are 'mumtaz' excellent, amazing, more than kind...everyone we've met thus far have been extremely helpful and it is because of them we have become comfortable so quickly.
we've had a chance to see and do quite a bit alhamd...go to the haram ofcourse...gone to the city and had some amazing fawakeh (fruit) smoothies..and had some awesome food...for un-beatable prices!!!!
anyhow, hoping u guys are able to see this post cos for some reason our blog site itself has been blocked by the network firewall but i can access the account so here's hoping
Jaffer and i now know about this cafe ( $0.65/hr btw) lol so hope to be coming here again soon between our classes and studying ofcourse...until then fee amaanillah!

Man, I can't wait to come to Syria Inshallah!! I remember in Pakistan we were all the way in the left lane going to turn left and the driver realizes he is going the wrong way so he makes this crazy right in front of all the cars LOL All I have to say is "fasten your seat belts" or "hold on tightly" and good luck with the driving!
How is School? Is is different being in a classroom again?
