Wow , where were you ? I've lived 3 years in Lebanon, made my Master about this country and married a Lebanese lady who is my wife for 25 years :)

Wonderful :) I lived there between 1978 and 1980 :) :thumbsup:

I was in Toulouse about 12 years ago, and ate at a small Lebanese cafe. My Arabic is very rusty these days, but I spoke to the lady owner. When she heard me use a couple of Lebanese specific words, and heard my accented Arabic, she began to cry for her birth-country. It was very moving :)

Which university were you at?

Yes, still very intense then. I was a volunteer with the International Red Cross. Even during the war, it was a beautiful country. I have visited many places, but nowhere has remained in my heart as much as Lebanon.

That sounds fascinating. I lived very close to the Arabic University for a while 👍

Yes, that country has really suffered hasn't it my friend? :( During the war, we would often be getting bombed in the morning, and at one of the beautiful old cinemas at Hamra, or strolling in the big Rowsha market, in the afternoon. I have always meant to return, but I know it has changed so much :( My happiest times were probably out of Beirut though, visiting with a Bedouin family I was friends with, or in the beautiful southern valleys, where life, then, hadn't changed for a very long time, and people lived a simple, but generally happy life :thumbsup:
