Life in Lebanon has become more difficult for us as local citizens..so it is surprising that you can still deal with these situations as a foreigner..In addition, we admire your attempt to live among the popular neighborhoods and project a more beautiful picture of details in our country, specifically those that the tourist who does not see (they usually goes to hotels and resorts.) So Thank you for being with us during this economic crisis 🙏 Hope you can comeback someday after this crisis finishes. Best regards 🌹

As a Lebanese Canadian, a Beirut-raised and lover, you have brought me back to those lovely areas. How much I appreciate that you prioritize family-run businesses, espcially in those terrible times where regular people need the most help .... This is a noble way of thinking, encouraging the local market and small hidden shops ... I give Lebanese dialect lessons to foreigners in Montreal and your video will be very useful both on the touring level and the linguistic one. Which makes me just wish you used more Arabic words while making your grocery shopping :--) Yaatikoun el Aafieh w alf sahha!

Alot of peoples go to their local small family shops.

I’m also really sad that you are seeing Lebanon during his downfall… before 2019 Lebanon was different, it was all happiness, partying, good and fun family time and everyone was very happy. Sad times we are seeing now. Hope it will be over soon and I wish u a happy future together ❤️ God bless

You're right. I was there in 2003, a long time ago. My Lebanese friends took me out to the Pussycat Club where we danced and drank. The young people there love to have a nice time going out to enjoy themselves. When I was there the Syrian army was all over Lebanon even in the Bekaa Valley. Then the Lebanese got the courage to kick them out. I feel sad with what's happening there. I pray that things turn around. The Lebanese are a great people derived from the ancient Phoenicians.

Their Tabbouleh salad and Hummus and overall cuisine is second to none! God bless!

Nice, raw, real video..like the way you interact with locals and they with you guys. You seem more at ease now in this video after living there for a bit. Quick observation regarding Supermarket vs small shops. The supermarket you mentioned was Spinneys which tends to be more expensive. There are many other similar supermarkets that are not as pricey. Some of them are called Taawoniyet ( coop). As far them selling food that is spoiled, I think this is a new thing that most likely has to do with the current economic situation where shoppers are not purchasing as they used to and as a consequence food tend to stay on the shelf for longer. It's not an excuse for them to keep spoiled food but I guess so many things are going wrong in the country right now that quality control is not a priority at the moment. I'm just speculating anyway. I hope Lebanon come back to the way it used to be and you get a chance to revisit the way it really is and not during that dark moment. Yaatiki el afieh ;)

I lived over 6 years in the south the difference in makrets are the ones there have a lot the south had very minimum then but some markets open like supermarket alot of sweets and chocolate are imported from turkey but the local fruit and vegetables and chesse and olives were so wonderful if you like culture small businesses for sweet treats and sweet foods are the best
