Damascus today is a city that shows all aspects of live.
There are the men in traditional robes, the young men very fashion conscious, the buinesmen in suits, the women in very traditional attire, young women still slightly traditional but also more adventurous in their dress, and the kids who are a mixture of the whole spectrum.
Traffic here is horendous, there is no way in the world I would even consider driving here.
