Digressing to Life in General

Whilst on the sit on mower this morning, dealing with the long grass in the orchard and having just completed once again one of Tuesday Lobsang Rampas books “I Believe”, (and I shall cover this topic another time as I could ramble forever about this physic and author) I remembered all the controversy years ago surrounding this gentleman, and my mind wandered onto the subject of life in general. With the UK news recently highlighting the fact that they have now discovered a “fat” gene, it took me back many many years ago when I remember there was a huge outcry from experts who identified plastics that were used to contain food and drink products, having toxicological effects on the human body. Scientists concluded that eating and drinking from bottles made of plastic would over a period of time affect the genetic make up of the human body and both physical and mental aspects of sexuality would be affected, together with increase in cancer, and Alzheimer disease to name but a few

French Cheeses

Looking at our website we decided to do some more research and place another couple of pages of information on it, so I had this idea that I should list some French Cheeses on it which I thought would be interesting, so I set about researching this. Several months later, I was still researching, as I was not aware that France had over 500 cheeses, and I seemed to be living and dreaming Cheeses. Some were very difficult to research and took a lot of time, French markets helped quite a lot, but was not easy taking photographs from this source without getting some strange looks

Deserted Village

If you passed by a broken window, you will throw a stone on it, and if someone asks you why you’re doing this, you will answer spontaneously that: It’s already broken! Well that what our folks did in a night hiking trip between Qara and Jrajir, when we passed near the ruins of an old deserted village, they left all the places and pissed on it’s walls! -nobody’s living here anymore! –one of the hikers said- I think he’s right, somehow. The village is really a perfect place for shooting a movie or being transferred into a hotel, and it’s built in the old traditional way, or what’s left of it

A Normal Spring Trip

Me and My partner in the university Hashem were asked to continue our graduation project by going to one the Following villages: khouikhat Hasoura Mqa3bra Rastan Do you know this villages? Well due to my general culture I know about Rastan town, and due to my “hiking experience” I know a little about Mqa3brah as I hiked near by two years ago, and the other two villages we couldn’t even find them in the map. What I know about it that it’s located not very far from the Crack de Chevalier citadel to the west of Homs and in the middle of greenery there.

Don’t Ask For A Cigarette

JablehCountrySides Originally uploaded by amrtheproud . July (2005) (Jableh countryside, Western mounts) It looks like a scene from Yemen and not from Syria, tobacco is widely planted in the northern parts of the Syrian coast and western mounts, even though I’m a non-smoker, I like the colors and the shape of that plant. What was really horrible in these villages that everyone smokes even the old women! Anyway, here’s a little advice when you visit this area and enter a shop: don’t ask for cheese, yogurt, or milk; they are all home produced! And when visiting a village as the one in the photo don’t ask for a cigarette, because they make their own!

Al-Ghouta-2

Ok Rami, here is a new post about Al Ghoota with more photos and resources, Al Ghouta surrounded the old city from every direction, but mainly from the east and west. To get to Damascus, you had to walk through heavenly valleys and large plains all planted with olive trees, apricot and nut trees and other fruits and all kind of vegetables. Al-Ghouta wasn’t simply a large area of “farms”, it had waterfalls and great views wherever you look, and many historians believe that the first café in the world was established in Al-Ghouta in the years of 1500’s

The Road To Mar Moussa AlHabashi- last episode-

Al Nabek (Qalamoun Mounts) (feb/2005) well this small church inside the monastery was one of the strangest things that i have ever seen! Religious drawings wherever you look, most of the drawings are over 800 years old. i picked this one that describes the judgment day: on the right the bad fellows that crying blood, with the devil (the black on the second row) on the left the good guys… the most interesting things are the shapes and the costumes of the people (that gives a good idea of that time), and that (and it’s my own conclusion) it weren’t drawn in Mar Moussa’s life, because if he was there he wouldn’t draw the devil in black because in Ethiopia they used to draw Jesus as a black one
