weekend in Beirut Part 2

I did this post in two parts cos i'm too lazy to sit around and write it all at once. So i was saying they have cheap juice and its true they do but our first day there we just walked around and shopped pretty much all day. There is lots of shopping and its nice to be around shops that i recognise unlike in tyr but i really didn't think it was that awesome. And then we kicked back at the hotel before hitting the hotel bar for our free beers. After that we headed out for dinner and a bit of club and pub action.


This is where we met some american/lebanese girls who took us to a gay bar. It wasn't a bad bar it was pretty groovy and it had an open bar which i was pretty stoked about but, i know it was a gay bar so there's going to be a strange vibe but there was this vibe that made me more uncomfortable than if i was in the gay bar in darwin.




After that we checked out monot street which is where all the clubs are and you really need to like arabic music or you need to be really really drunk to have a good night here. There were some places that looked appealing but i couldn't get past the music while i was sober.


And there's not much more to say. We did some more shopping on sunday before we came home quite tired but still managed dinner and some beers at the pub here at home.


I forgot to add this pic before....this is a pic of a hezbollah truck that is on the side of the highway (makes you feel soooo safe)
