Around the Middle East in 40 Days,

My adventure around 10 different countries in the Middle east. It is more meaningful to read this blog bottom up, rather then top down. This will make more sense as I develop my ideas along with my travel. N.B. Posts might be delayed, not only because of lack of connectivity, but also maybe till I move from the country I am visiting to the next. Just to be on the safe side :) However I must admit the major reason remains my habit of procrastination

Warzone, you can still feel it

Well walking in many places in Lebanon you can just see remnants of the war that has been here for so long. Although you appreciate the huge effort to replace this image with a more plesent one, it still hits you. The Hamra Cinema is one of the buildings remaining in the downtown without renovation, or signs of firearms on buildings in several areas in Beirut or beyond just spell out the War times. It has been the first experience in such a place, although it is not very sharp.

Well I guess I spoke too soon. It is back into a warzone with recent events, and the efforts to present Lebanon differently might have been all lost.
