Everything has changed in Syria, forever. Before eleven months, Damascus seemed to be stable and far from any "spring storms". Now, the sense of tension and change is filling up the air.

In the heart of Damascus, there is a place which looks like a coffee shop. but if you dig deeper, it is more than a place where you can just have your morning coffee then walk away!

The majority of the café habitués here are from the enlightened Syrian class, young artists , intellectuals, bloggers and university students; and some of the "curious-type". This place is well known for being the summit point of Syrian activists, but basically it is more like a free-platform where they can express themselves freely.
