Social Unrest and Civil Disobedience in Beirut
one local expertLeave a comment
If someone were moving to Beirut, I think the most important thing to know is that people are very kind, generous, and helpful. Lebanese people always jump at the occasion to help. They are generous and always offer you a free meal, a free ride, whatever they can possibly offer. Because of the many wars and political unrest that they’ve been through, Lebanese people are resilient like no one you’ve ever seen. They get knocked down and back up easily, not because they are heartless or tough, but because they are hopeful and joyful. They enjoy life and look for any occasion to celebrate life. If you really want to understand all the above, attend a Lebanese wedding, and you will not only understand what it is to be Lebanese, but you will feel it.
