    Anyone out there have a sweet tooth? If so, then I think I found the perfect country for you to visit... SYRIA!
    Never in my life have I seen more sugary treats that come in all shapes, sizes and tastes. I've tried the best pastries and ice cream in my life over the past several days in Damascus! I mean, the streets and markets are lined with candy shop after candy shop after candy shop -- and it's truly amazing!
    Who knew that SYRIA would be this SWEET? (see what I did there?) ;)

    I went to Syria last year. I lost 5kg before my trip and still came back fat! The food is amazing but the people even more so. After an afternoon of wandering around Damascus, I was almost doubled over with stomach cramps from too much coffee, which I couldn't / didn't have the heart to say no to. I think that I ended up drinking 7 cups! Everyone just wants you to stop and chat and there is no expectation to buy anything from them. The trip was eye-opening. I had planned to go back this year but I have no idea when that will be now :( Stay strong, Syria!

      kushal. n rajasuba I only visit there one every two years or so, the situation is comparable to Syria in the 1980s: electricity rationing (ie expect scheduled 2-6 hours of electricity blackout depending on where u live) and work is not easy to come by... and something new: currency vs. dollar is in free fall.
      Nevertheless people are adapting, and surviving and even in a few cases flourishing...
      but I am not strong enough to survive there so I chose to work outside the country. I will be forever thankful for my country for giving me a strong engineering degree for a couple of hundred dollars in government subsidized education which allowed me to work in oil and gas industry outside Syria. (Company founded by a Syrian-UK citizen).
      Surprisingly, the COVID-19 had little or effect on Syria.
