    I was trained by a guy, and later became a colleague of his, who did a fellowship in Beirut. This must have been in the early 1970s, because I met him in 1974. He did his post-grad training at the American University of Beirut.

    He told me how much he loved Beirut.

    I can see why,

    ETA: I've seen similar videos of Iran, pre-1979. This is the first I've seen of another country.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      It was called the Paris of the Middle East. Quite a cosmopolitan place until the terrorists reared their ugly heads.

        That's what Don called it.

          Lot of Christians in Lebanon in those days.

          Today? Not so much...

              And in Syria. And in Egypt.
