Haha... i know we have been counting down for a long time, but dont worry, we still love it here and love being in school. The environment, people, and city is excellent, and definitely cherish every moment here. Not to mention that we meet someone we know or someone who knows us every week or so... lol. We just got a call from someone who knows our cousin in London and they heard that we know some good ring places or tasbih places... so we are taking him shopping today... LOL... .we just asked our teacher that the prices here compared to the prices back home are much different, so are we allowed to charge people more who order stuff, and we got the approval...LOL... just kidding.... about what, i will never tell!!
So, major developments here over the last few days, prices of nearly everything has gone up in Syria, and all to do with Gasoline and Diesel prices... Diesel used to be 7.5 cents per liter, and it just went up to 36cents... thats nearly a 360% increase, so everything also went up.. All the taxi people were on strike yesterday cause they wanted permission from the government to change their rates, and they were given the permission today, so we the students who are receiving a monthly stipend based on old figures, are now also going on strike until they increase our stipend...lol, just kidding... But really they should increase it :)
We went out walking through Damascus a few days ago, from Sayyida Ruqaya AS to Abu Rumana where KFC is, and it took us nearly 3 hours because we stopped at a lot of stores on the way, but we did end up buying lots of DVD's, of new movies that are in theaters back home... each movie costs $1... lol.. now we just need to find time to watch them... haha... all good tho.
Anyways, thanks for reading... we hear we were in the new INFOCUS magazine that the WF came out with, though we ourselves havent read it... So if anyone is coming this way, bring a copy with you please :)
Take care!!
