Back to Beirut! This is my last semester in AUB. Although everyone is telling me I'll be desperately wishing for these days to come back, I am still VERY happy that I will be graduating in 15 weeks, or nearly 105 days.

Anyway, after a very long summer vacation in Damascus I'm back on the Damascus-Beirut road. I remember when I was younger and I liked to read, Yehia Jaber, the Lebanese writer dedicated his book to me with the words: "There is a love expression called the Damascus-Beirut road." Well, I don't think it is still applicable. With the new 800 SP "ta2sheeret khourouj", and the Syrian soldiers checking your private things to take anything Lebanese, this road has become a living hell!

Lebanon is much calmer now. Probably "al sookoon allathi yasbok al 3asifah". The streets are calmer, and the traffic got lighter around the city. I've been watching some Lebanese blogs lately. I don't agree with them, but they give me what the Lebanese people aren't telling us, Syrians, directly.

Anyway...
