The Tourist Hotel

I took the 7a.m. train from Damascus to Aleppo.  The 5hr trip cost $4.80.

I arrived, caught a taxi to the hotel, dumped my bag in a cute little room, and started walking, eager to see the famous souqs of Aleppo.

However... I didn't have a map of the city, I didn't grab a business card of the hotel, I didn't do a check of the nearby landmarks.  When I tried to find my way back, I couldn't.

And unfortunately the name of the hotel is Tourist Hotel.  I gave up asking for help.  Every hotel was the answer to my question.

Oh hon, I laughed so hard I cried and nearly peed. Sorry. (You of all veteran travelers... damn that was funny!)
