thanks guys. im very lucky to be able to travel and show the places ive been.
amonkie, although the trek was done aone, it was only a 6.5hr round trip. i got a taxi to the ski field, and the taxi driver waited for me until i got back. i also called him when i got to the top to let him know i had made it. he expected a call from me. i also had plenty of water and food with me and watherproof clothes with me, so i was prepared.
lebanon is a country that is passionate about its politics. everywher you go people will talk about religion and politics in the same breath, and the country is divided up on these lines, which i think is unfortunate. a major cock up if you ask me, but thats for another thread.
so i decided to take some pics of the various posters around the country as a matter of interest. let me know your thoughts..you may notice a few familiar faces in there
you may have noticed the assassinated prime minister Rafik Hariri in a picture i posted earlier ( pic no. 3). i dont really know lebanese politics or politicians very well, but i recognose the most popular faces and names...
here are a few more
Sa'ad Hariri on the right, not sure who the guy on the left is
a Najib Mikati ( cuurent prime minister of lebanon) placard "we are all for the nation, we are all for doing things"
