Step 1. Gather the troops
At some point in my life I got the brilliant idea to study Arabic. One thing led to another and before I knew it I was studying at the University of Damascus, living in a country not very famous at the time. Life was good in Syria, beer was good in Syria, food was good in Syria, the weather was good in Syria and the landscape was amazing in Syria. All this lead me to invite some of my friends over, to crack Syrias oyster in half.
