Various thoughts: three months and counting.

My time in Syria is drawing to a close; I suppose this calls for some final thoughts. I've been here just over 8 months, and like many things in life, my stay here in retrospect seems so long and so short at the same time. It's been great fun, living here, and I've learned a lot.

Perceptions of the U.S. This will be a quick one; a response to a commenter's question. In the end I would like you to ask all your Arab friends a simple question.
