Beirut Favorite Tips by coceng

On The Bus...

Fondest memory: When I took this photo, I felt like going down the bus because I love KFC !
I like chicken meat !
Somehow it reminds me of KL, maybe Lebanese KFC was better ?
Huh ! That guy SMS-sing infront of KFC...Just like everybody here as well !
Me, I don't even have a mobile !

Hard Rock Cafe...

Fondest memory: Unlike a few people from Malaysia who love travelling, their friends & family always ask them to buy that Hard Rock Cafe T-bloody Shirt !
Well, not me.
In fact, it makes me laugh just to see people wearing that stupid T-shirt anyway.
At least I have this photo telling people back home that I was there !
I was there but too bad that they were running out of T-shirts when I was there.
That's what I normally tell my friends & family...

Traffic Jam !

Fondest memory: This was my last photo taken in Beirut.
Enough of me seeing the bad traffics around Beirut !
I dunno, this last photo sort of sums up Beirut, maybe.
After that, I walked back to the hotel & collected my luggage. Waited for my Lebanese friend called Riyad to come & picked me up because we were having this plan to drive through to the North of Lebanon ! Amazing !
We planned to drive to Byblos but a de-tour happened hence we stopped by HERE.

A Lone Boat...

Fondest memory: Looking over to The Mediterranean Sea along The Corniche.
Seeing this lone boat ricking in the sea...with nobody in it !
Wondered where the owner had been gone to ?
Well in a way I felt like the boat, feeling alone in The Middle East (although I knew a few people) with a small budget, my itineraries to get me going.
How long did my money lasted for this trip ?
The answer is you just have to trace my itineraries from Beirut to Cairo !

On The Bus...

Fondest memory: It was a sunny day...The traffics were running slowly.
I was just sitting on the bus, reconciling the few days that I had been in The Middle East.
It was actually only the third day...

On The Bus...

Fondest memory: These photos were taken after I arrived back from Baalbek.
I was too lazy to just walking around Beirut, thought I would take some snaps of what I saw around Beirut while on the bus instead.
So, just enjoy some of my snapshots while me sitting on the bus while capturing them !
The posters of the late President Rafiq Harriri were almost everywhere.
