Observation from beirut

Walking in the streets of Beirut , you can't but notice the dominance of girls over males. Everywhere you go you just notice young females around you. why not, and all the statistics are showing that the males migrate as soon as they graduate, mainly to Gulf countries. a friend working in a research company mentioned to me that the ratio of female to male in Lebanon between the age of 24 to 35 is 7 to 1....... Oh.
I can see it clearly. A single female friend told me : How can i find someone to get married to, there are no males...............

Another observation is the clothing of the lebanese. It is known that the lebanese females clothing is so funky and "over".. but it is too much. the temperature didnt reach yet 25 and the girls are sleevless and minis and see throughs... I am wondering if i get to live once again in lebanon, can i prevent my daughter of being more conservative..

traffic lights in beirut

If you have ever visited beirut , you will know what i will be talking about.

Traffic lights, some working some others.

but no one really respect them at all. Even the policemen themselves.

You will find a red traffic, and a policeman managing the traffic by letting them pass ( although the traffic is red)...some other cars not respecting the policeman and going their own way ( illegal U turns, taxis stopping in the middle of the road to pick customers...).


Me, being a person abiding by the law, stopped at every red traffis light. I should not mention about the cars and their horns , but i will tell you uthat one taxi driver stopped and shouted at me and said " na'sni ba3ed... shou a3mli h7alik class ".

Are you laughing or crying? it can be both

a country that doesnt respect itself , no one will respect it... Sorry Lebanon
