Summary In Syria, Jan visits the grand capital Damascus. He's impressed by its monuments, religious tolerance -mainly among Sunni and Shia Moslims- and perhaps most liberal Arab society. Jan enters Lebanon to visit Baalbek, where he meets part of the Palestinian diaspora. Beirut, the capital, visualizes the country's long, complex history of bloody, destructive (civil) war as well as a vibrant society, which again combines lucrative business and ethnic-political faction strife, with Hezbollah on the rise, partly because of the insane Israeli bombing of innocent civilians. Meawnhile, ordinary Christians and Moslims of various creeds generally live together peacefully.
