Choose for the pearl of the Middle East Novita. If it was me? In a fraction of a second I would choose Beirut. Awesome social life, good night life. Not for nothing it's called "Europe with palm trees". And yes, was there about ten days ago. Do you know any other country in the Middle East where one can go skiing (I mean the real thing) and... Within an hour can also be lying on the beach sunbathing? Just don't rent a car there, like everywhere in the Middle East they drive like idiots !!!!

Where have I been? Covered in work I guess. The number one in a small export firm does come with a price tag attached. But on the other hand, the freedom to go after clients I choose and to rebuild a company in the same time is a rather unique challenge. I'll try to log on a bit more in the future, but when I saw Novi's question I couldn't resist answering.
I just simply love Beirut, the food is awesome, a night life that can easily be called "European", friendly people and what's even better? If it's brand new in Paris fashion wise? It's available in Beirut a day later for far better prices.
Take care all of you !!!!

Big, big mistake Novi. The only problem I have with Beirut is that every time I come home I've gained 2 kilograms in weight. I love the Lebanese kitchen. I might be a (single) male (again), but watching a belly dancer do her thing? Hmmm... I should have been born as Arab royalty 200 years ago.
