It has been three days away from the
virtual world of the internet in Damascus; no email, no Facebook, no Twitter or
Skype.
The only facts we had were the smoke that we see from our balconies and the
non-stop sounds of shelling and warplanes flying across suburbs of Damascus.
Even on mobile phones, it was hard to get through. You were lucky to
communicate with those living in the same area of Damascus, let alone other
parts of the country.
