traveling in style

over Eid Al-Fitr, we went to visit friends in Aleppo.


there's a new "City Train" that offers first-class tickets at 240 lira - about $5 - for the 4.5 hour trip. it's really a pretty nice train, but what was most amazing was that in a single first-class car, seating only about 50 people, there could be such a high proportion of children, all of whom seemed to be (noisily) awake for the entire trip.


one of these children spent much of his time checking out/touching the back of Ethan's head.
