For the first time ever, I decided to travel with Amy (my GF) to my home country. In Lebanon (my home country), making that step is huge - the way it is usually interpreted is that it's a serious relationships, and introducing your significant other to your family means you have great future intentions of marriage and starting a family together. We flew from Edmonton after Amy's parents dropped us at the airport -
Amy's first day in Lebanon was small tour in Beirut, Gemayzeh and Mono old streets where cultural and historical houses who represent our country's heritage are being torn down, and replaced by ugly commercial buildings with no parkings- We went for a walk near Manara and Rawcheh in Beirut - everyone in the area was staring at her as if she was an alien, I did not have the words to explain to her why they were awkwardly staring at her - I was stared at too!
Same first day, second experience was attending a big fat Lebanese wedding of a friend "Salah El-Chlouk" who was visiting Edmonton in winter 2014, and who has already met Amy.
We left the after wedding party and headed to Lime - a smalll pub in Mono Street, Achrafieh to enjoy a drink in a relaxed atmosphere.
and we landed in Beirut and finally arrived home after flying for over 20 hours
