-G.M. : Tealover, we have an appointment tomorrow at Damascus , noon time .with a key customer to conduct a presentation of some of our solutions . You are among the team going, be ready .
-Me (Tealover) : Oh ! what! okay!
So , today , I had to wake up early , had breakfast , dressed up , put my high heals boots on (and that was a mistake , I should've gone in tennis shoes !!!) , and was ready at the premises by 8 sharp ! .. Well almost sharp..
It was three of us , and the plan was to go , conduct the presentation and come right back. Boarders were empty , it was really cold , and the horizon was misty , by the time we arrived to Damascus around noon , the atmosphere around looked grey and dirty . Not sure if it was pollution, weather or the effect of both.
After the presentation, we decided to head towards Hamediyeh , and female readers , can imagine how nice and comfy is it to walk it with 7 cm high heals ! Anyway, we went to a restaurant in one of those aisles that one of the colleagues recommended, it was okay. Then headed back to Hamediyeh , and in our way passed by Bikdash , my colleagues had some , I had none , I don't rally like it , and I can't quiet get what people finds in it ! After that , we moved on in our way , all the way back to our car , and headed for Amman. A stop over by the Syrian duty free was a must. Then we headed back to Amman, was there by 9 p.m.
A funny thing that caught my eye at the Syrian boarders, was this sign that was saying in Passports, Private with the women, and that translated to
استلام الجوازات, خاص بالنساء … I wish I could capture it , but it was a bit risky at the boarders building!
Anyway, its good to be back to the warm home again ..

for some reason i am having trouble signing in to blogspot!!
Well Kerr :) it's much much bigger than Nablus .. but I assume they refer to the old "7arat" as well as souq el7amediyeh to khan of Nablus .. yet the khan is much smaller than hamediyeh :) ..
I hope you'll visit it one day inshallah ! and their food is YUMMY for sure ;).

I'll give you a tip I use, take comfy shoes with you in a bag : ) and change after the event no one will notice what you have in a closed plastic bag ; p
Oh Tamara .. I was so much in pain that I seriouslt considered buying my self a piece of silpper while walking in Hamediyeh souq ! .. but after having lunch , I felt okay and the pain attacj started right after that in our way back to take a taxi ! .. and I thought its a matter of half an hour and we'll be in the car ! .. but this is a very good idea .. I guess i'l do so for next /visits and events :) !
