Are you sure that getting a job in Syria right now is the right thing to do?

Hi Token Norse Guy,

Well, let's just say by the time the arrangements are made, I finish up what I'm doing here, and I get out there, things should be be much more calm.

I like your optimism or perhaps you are planning for 1 or 2 years from now?

Akh

Not at all...was hoping for something close to Fall. Anyway...come onnnn...the protests are about democracy, right? I'm sure they'd just luv to hear from me right now...

Maybe read up on Syria a bit before you go, I assume you are of ME extraction/parents. Maybe consider Jordan and just drive into Syria if you fancy some sightseeing.

Akh

Nope...I'm a gangly, Caucasian American-Scot...

It's not sightseeing I'm after.

ok let me put this really simply.

syria is at the start of a full blown and bloody revolution. there is already a significant death toll in multiple cities across the whole country

this will end in one of two ways.

if the govt does what it did last time to supress a rebelion the death count can be expected to be in the tens of thousands just google hama syria

or the people will win and the death count will be in the high hundreds or low thousands.

either way syria is not somewhere any sane individual should consider for some time

Let me put this simply...I did not ask for a lecture. I asked for information regarding relocation.

I am 40 years old...I am quite aware of what's happening there. If anyone else is interested in "warning" me...please don't bother.

shiva

ok let me put this another way.

the people of syria are fighting quite litererly for their lives and the lives of their children. not one of them will appreciate some foregin **** nugget rocking up and getting caught up in something.

I reached my twat threshold early this week

Akh

Guys, guys, let's not fight over little ol' me.

Shiva, I'm simply saying that Syria isn't as bad as you think it is,
people are still going to work everyday, kids are still going to school.
Yes, there is rioting and people are getting hurt but not in every city
and certainly not on a country-wide-utter-chaos kind of way.

Relax once, eh?

I live in Bahrain so I know what you're saying about life going on, but I personally believe that Syria is on a different level of violence (and will continue for longer). Also there is the fact that although I live in Bahrain and it is 'okay-ish' at the moment, this doesn't mean it would be on my list of places to look for a job in...

Essentially why move to a war-zone unless you're getting compensated for the security situation?

The other point which would stop me is of course that Syria is full of...Syrians!!
