One More Week

I have one more week left in Damascus and I'm finding even writing about leaving difficult. I didn't know what I expected when I came here and I'm not sure I know what to expect when I leave. It will, I imagine, be a bit of a shock to return to the US from the Middle East after 7 months, especially after being in a country free of the American consumerism that has spread across the world.

Congratulations on your accomplishment, Anar---I'm sure there will be the "required" adjustment period when you get back to the U.S., but in a way, readjusting kind of reminds you to what extent you acclimized to Syrian life, especially in such a short amount of time; it will add even more value to your experience when you have something/somewhere else to compare (at least, that's what I do after having moved around N times in life ;-)

Keep up the facinating articles, they are an inspiration!
