Subject: Post: Last night we were out pretty late, so we didn't wake up that early either. When we finally got out of the hotel, it was like 2pm already..<p>We took an almost 10 kilometers walk alongside the coastline in the hot and humid air, for sightseeing the city a bit. The city looks kinda different from all the other middle eastern cities we have been in so far, as there are a lot of new, fancy looking buildings and the city is almost entirely build on the shore.<p>The damage done by Israeli air strikes exactly 3 years ago in July 2006 can still be seen everywhere in the city. Beirut is full of ruins, reminding me a lot of the Bosnian cities of Sarajevo and Mostar. Looks like every other building has a few shrapnel or bullet holes on them. The combination of the modern newly erected buildings and the ruins makes the cityscape kinda unique.<p>By the way, there are probably more +100000€ cars than I have ever seen in any other city. Only during last night we saw a bunch of Ferraris, not to mention all the other sport cars and limousines.<p>Back in the hotel now, just cooling down a bit and enjoying our air condition.. Later in the evening we could probably call the bartender guy we met yesterday and go have a beer somewhere.. :)<p>Note: I added some videos, as we now have a decent connection again.
