4.10 Beirut
Beirut is a city of contrasts. Luxury and poverty, modernity and tradition, burkas and silicone. The scars of war are plentiful, but the city
is rapidly rebuilding. Large cranes define the growing city skyline, as do dozens of bell towers and minarets. Cosmopolitan 20-somethings congregate in coffee shops and discuss the prospect for their country's future stability and prosperity. By night, the wealthy strut their stuff and flock to flashy clubs. My hostel just happened to be in the night club district, which made for great people-watching from above.
