Thank you for this interview, I enjoyed it a lot ❤
Beirut is internal –
No city in the middle east can compare to
The sophistication –
The attitude of the people- their genuine
Warmth – their positive
Attitude – their hope
& deep abiding dedication to the preservation
Of their way of life –
Which is so unique –
These indomitable
People have endured
So much – but they are resilient & steadfast –
Good bless them –
amazing interview
