happy 2004: reconstruction
Favorite thing: Happy 2004! Things are changing... fast downtown, slowlier in the suburbs, especially in the less wealthy ones. Devastated between 1975 and 1990 by a bloody civil war, Beirut is quickly picking itself up. Buildingd like the one in the picture are getting more and more obsolete.
Fondest memory: I'm not too fond of Beirut... beautiful restoration work has been carried out downtown and in other parts of town, yet it's still very grey and sad-looking. I saw very little of it by day, and I was not really impressed. But by night it shines like gold: it's beautiful, it's alive, it's captivating, it's full of contrast. I definitely liked Beirut at night.
