[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] traveled through A'zaz in August 2008, together with a Lebanese woman. Several drivers and people along the way before warned us to take the Kilis checkpoint and go through A'zaz. People are extremely conservative here, and every Western looking foreigner might fast be considered as a spy, or in their eyes even worse, as an American, especially because of the near distance to the border. While in the city, the common Syrian hospitality we've been used to before was in fact not present, and many children started to scream Arabic swear words towards my female companion. In the end nothing happened, but a bad feeling followed us until we crossed the border. It's recommended for everyone just to take a lot of care here.
