Syria - July 2009 (1) : The Old Town of Aleppo & Public Park

Salam mina san!
In this post and the next two posts I will talk about my trip to Syria this summer, or , I will let the pictures talk instead of me!^^

Aleppo, my city, is located in the far north of Syria. And to reach there, heading from Jordan, we have to pass through other five main cities of Syria.

Dar'a (border city),

Damascus, the capital city:


Homs,

Hama:

"Al'asi river"

And finally,

Aleppo!

Aleppo!


Aleppo!


Aleppo!


Aleppo!

(five Aleppos are enough):D

Yes, it's Aleppo, アレッポ, حلب
And as AlBuhturi said:

سَلِ الحَلَبِيّ عَنْ حَلَبٍ وَعَنْ تِرْكَانِهِ حَلَبَا

I say: Ask the Aleppo-jin about Aleppo...

Aleppo Old Town: Aleppo Citadel, Omayyad Mosque, Khan Asshoneh, and Souq Almadina

I used to play in this dome with my brother when we were children,
Say your name loudly and the dome will repeat it many times, I discovered later that this is called "Echo"!

On the way to Syria

Shiria kara ^^

Salam minasan !
Ohisashiburi desu!
I'm sending this post from Aleppo.
I have been in Syria for more than two weeks, and during this period I have never connect to the internet nor touch my laptop! No time! I went to many nice places, I visited my relatives, I ate delicious foods.... and today I opened my email to see a HUGE number of unread emails! I need another two weeks to read them all~~

Anyway, I'm enjoying my time here Alhamdulellah, and I realized something: no need for technology to be happy!

Expect many posts about Syria after I come back to Jordan! ^^

dewa mata!

感動させる．．．

Count Down To 第千字！Count up to ....

I found it a good and interesting way for studying and drawing kanji(4 years, 1000kanjis)

では、みなさん、この写真はどこだと思いますか。

実は、この写真はシリアではありません。そして、この写真を撮ったのは私ではありません。
この写真はヨルダンのアズラクです！I-先生はアズラクに行ったとき、だんなさんと一緒にいろいろな鳥やいろいろな花の写真を撮ってきて、昨日私に見せてくださいました。アズラクに行ったことがない私はこの写真を見たら、「すごくきれいだな～」と思って、みなさんと分かち合おうと思いました。

では、もっと素敵な写真が見たかったら、このリンクどうぞご覧ください！
I-先生はこのウィブサイトでヨルダンの写真をアップロードして、コメントも書いています。
（I-先生、みんなに紹介させていただけて、どうもありがとう！）

ヨルダンでは、茶色の鳥とカラスのほかの鳥の種類がいろいろありますね。
花もいろいろありますね。＾＾

Longing for Water, longing for Simplicity, longing for Syria!

I took these photos in 2006's summer in Syria, in a place near to "Alraqqa = الرقة" city. This lake is called "Al'asad Lake = بحيرة الأسد" and the castle which is located approximately at the center of the lake is called "Ja'bar Castle = قلعة جعبر".

These days I feel that I miss Syria too much ;'|. I'm waiting this year summer on pins and needles!
The interesting thing, that when I am in Jordan I miss Syria, and when I go to Syria I miss Jordan~~
