The Road to Damascus: April 2007

http://dave-damascus.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

The Road to Damascus. The ranting and raving(! Of a young Englishman living in Damascus. Doing' Jordan part 2. Sorry about the delay folks - I've been busy with teaching. Anyways, here's part two of my adventures in Jordan. I had a nice evening here - I was even offered a job teaching English by a couple of teachers whom I got talking to in the town centre (most notable for it's statue of Salah ad-Din). The following day I checked out the things that Madaba is famous for - mosaics. Many of the churches h...

The Road to Damascus: A Tale of Two Cities

http://dave-damascus.blogspot.com/2006/08/tale-of-two-cities.html

The Road to Damascus. The ranting and raving(! Of a young Englishman living in Damascus. A Tale of Two Cities. My friend Raf is flying in from London today. He's picked an interesting moment to come to Syria - right when President Bashar has told the Syrian armed forces to increase its readiness. Therefore I probably won't post much for the next couple of weeks. In the meantime please check out some of the sites on the left-hand side of the screen to keep abreast of developments. Take care all,. I like y...

The Road to Damascus: 'Doing Jordan' part 1

http://dave-damascus.blogspot.com/2007/04/doing-jordan-part-1.html

The Road to Damascus. The ranting and raving(! Of a young Englishman living in Damascus. Doing Jordan' part 1. I have spent the last two weeks visiting Jordan - and what an amazing time I have had. Apart from visiting all the main attractions (detailed below), I leave Jordan having made many new friends, had several (mis-)adventures, spoken a lot of Arabic and generally recharging my batteries after a gruelling couple of weeks trudging around the Damascus property market. Wadi Musa / Petra. The views are...

The Road to Damascus: Bashar blows it.

http://dave-damascus.blogspot.com/2011/03/bashar-blows-it.html

The Road to Damascus. The ranting and raving(! Of a young Englishman living in Damascus. So, clearly Bashar didn't read my blog post of 28th March (no need to write me to apologise, mate. I understand that work's been putting you under a lot of pressure recently. It's fine). Too many veiled threads and talk of stability. Blaming foreign plots and satellite TV just doesn't work in 2011 when you have a well educated and IT-literate population. It'll be interesting to see what happens on Friday. Quality wri...

The Road to Damascus: A revival of Pan-Arabism? & the prospects for revolution in Syria

http://dave-damascus.blogspot.com/2011/02/resurrection-of-pan-arabism-opinion-al.html

The Road to Damascus. The ranting and raving(! Of a young Englishman living in Damascus. A revival of Pan-Arabism? The prospects for revolution in Syria. Nice little article putting events in Tunisia and Egypt into the context of Pan-Arabism, that most well-worn of Middle Eastern political footballs. The resurrection of pan-Arabism - Opinion - Al Jazeera English. Bringing matters back to Syria, AJE also produced a readable account of why the Tunisian domino effect is unlikely to spread to Syria:. Finally...

The Road to Damascus: June 2006

http://dave-damascus.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

The Road to Damascus. The ranting and raving(! Of a young Englishman living in Damascus. Guide To Arabic Music Pt. 1: Pop Tarts. The single most heard singer in Syria remains, probably, the iconic Fairouz. And this is not just among middle-aged people. However, there is far more to the contemporary music scene here than just this classic torch singer. For example, there is a small Arab hip hop scene. Many of this industry’s characteristics are familiar from other pop music forms across the world&#4...

The Road to Damascus: March 2007

http://dave-damascus.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

The Road to Damascus. The ranting and raving(! Of a young Englishman living in Damascus. And that's the trouble - half of it is still very much a work in progress complete with tins of paint, tools, piles of rubbish etc. The other half is great, but I still need to harass the landlord to provide me with stuff like a fridge, a cooker etc. Nevermind. Links to this post. The Mild Wild North East. 8211; the triangle of land wedged between. Obviously any mention of proximity to the horrific mess that is.

The Road to Damascus: Palmyra

http://dave-damascus.blogspot.com/2006/05/palmyra_19.html

The Road to Damascus. The ranting and raving(! Of a young Englishman living in Damascus. The ruins are a three hour bus-ride north east of Damascus. Its a very dramatic journey. Once you pass through the hinterland of Damascus, it is a journey through the desert. Aside from a couple of petrol stations, the Baghdad Cafe, and a single railway line there is nothing except the rocky landscape stretching out on all sides. The following morning it was time for an early start to have plenty of time to explore t...
