One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling thru Syria we went to Lake Al-Assad in North Syria, it was a very small town with no hostel or even hotel looking like places, the taxi driver offered us a night at his place where he was living with his pregnant wife,lovely daughter Lorin, his mother and father. They were so much welcoming and hospitable, they offered their own bed for us to sleep. Many other family members showed up to meet us at home.Later that night while we were eating dinner, his pregnant wife suddenly became sick and they took her to hospital. About 3 hours after they came up with the newborn baby.We were absolutely stunned. The father and even the mother was way too much cool about the situation when they got back from the hospital with the baby. Next morning the grandma insisted on giving us breakfast and so we had. It was just unbelievable!

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything you know good, preferably passionately.

Some nice bike ride around the city, teach a little kurdish language and culture, can share my humble experience in photography and my travel stories!
