1- For over a month, I've been in Northern Syria.
Despite the poverty & the threat of war, the people here (Kurds & Arabs) have been so generous to me. Its beyond what u imagine.
In this thread, I'll post few photos of some great meals we were invited to. Look at this.

The war has done a lot of harm to the country but it didn't affect the hospitality and friendliness of the people.
All of this was offered to me as a guest without asking for anything in return.
