Work

It was summer so work was quiet. We were shown around the refinery's facilities and asked us to complete some reports.

Experience

It was a huge experience. Daily life was different every day, we travelled a lot, got to know with Arab culture, found out that Syrian people are very fond of Greek people, we were treated like celebrities. Accomodation was free in the dormitories of the factory for the workers, but we also had a room in Latakia dormitories which was about an hour away by bus and a much more beautiful city. We made good friends, the food was different and everything was so cheap

I learned a new world, it was an amazing experience only with IAESTE could I have, you don't go to Syria easily.
