In Beirut
Food is great here, people are friendly as expected. But what surprised me that it is a jungle of high concrete buildings. (I truly appreciate the 4 story-buildings rule in Amman. I hope Maani will not wake up one day thinking it is not modern enough)
We are staying off Hamra street. I love the café trotoires, I love the taste of liberalism in the the streets and I love the sense of culture and freedom (ohh, except for Starbucks… I am not sure how the lebanese allowed starbuck to be open in the heart of Beirut.) It would be great if Abdali will look like this (although it will take years and years to feel natural and organic), one thing for sure, Abdali will be an attraction to the Middle class of Amman.
Over the next few days, I intend to see much more of Beirut… I will write a proper post about it then; hopefully with pictures…
I am afraid, this is all for today.

I loved Beirut. It is such a beautiful city. But what makes it special are the people… they are happy, easy going, always smiling, always dressed up… I really had fun
