The Tripoli tweetup was a great chance for me to meet lovely people in a beautiful area of Lebanon that I was not familiar with. I loved Tripoli for its authenticity, its vernacular streets, smells, colors, political posters – not to mention the amazing hospitality of the ‘traboulsiyyeh’. Oh it’s great to be a tourist in your own country, and in Leb, you can never get enough! I recommend all of you who haven’t been there to visit it and enjoy its beauties.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who was at the #tripolitweetup?\u00a0@funkyozzi, @azzi, @dashkoun, @sunkentreasure6, @sdarine, @beirutspring, @larazankoul, @ghassanb,\u00a0@danyawad<\/p>\n

Last but not least, I met someone in the tweetup who will probably never know what twitter is.<\/p>\n

\"rabih\"<\/p>\n

I had a lovely little talk with 14 year old Rabih, who was working on the boat, just like an adult! Made me wonder about child labour in Leb. I don’t have any idea about the ‘numbers’. But this boy’s eyes were so full of a weird mix of innocence and harshness. He went to school for 2 years only, but then spends his life working just like an adult. It’s too sad to see how basic education can be neglected due to poverty.<\/p>\n

Anyway enough for now, I should get back to work (I am super-overloaded in the coming days!) \u00a0Wish you all a great week! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
