Lebanon Trip Dec 2004 - Jan 2005

Lebanon is a unique country. Amongst the bullet ridden buildings, brand new buildings stand tall. Traffic is horrendous and the chance of being knocked down by a car if you are not careful when crossing the streets is high. Getting a taxi in Beirut is an experience in itself, bargaining and agreeing on prices before getting into one. Travelling in Lebanon is relatively safe. We tried the local buses to get to the south and north of the country; we are still in one piece...hehe...The Roman ruins are well perserved as you can see from the pics. Food is cheap esp. kebabs and sweets. Yummy, although I had food poisoning on the 2nd day I was there! All in all, a trip worth recommended to others.
