HOMS John Stones Manchester City Shirt , Syria, July 18 (Xinhua) -- A 30-minute drive is enough for anyone to move from hell to heaven in Syria's central city of Homs, otherwise known as the heart of Syria.


Usually, when Syria's name is mentioned, all people could think about are devastation, death, blood, and hunger. And while this somehow is true Vincent Kompany Manchester City Shirt , it's not the whole story.


The untold story in Syria is that there are areas that are still intact, and more beautiful than anyone could have imagined.

Happy people driving around playing loud music in narrow streets punctuated with small and big restaurants could be seen everywhere as if the visitor has been saved from hell and granted heaven.


The visitors of both sides realize that not everything is as it seems, and that life still exists in Syria Claudio Bravo Manchester City Shirt , even though the woes are much more than the wows in large parts of the country. But still, the small wows give hope that someday this country will be back on track toward happiness again.
