Beirut is like my can of Coke. On one side it's Western. In English and totally familiar. There are shops like H&M, Zara, McDonald's, and Dunkin' Donuts.
But on the other side, it's a whole lot of Arabic jibberish. People are called to prayer throughout the day by the songs of the minarets. There are women in burkas and ruins from the time of Christ.
A little different, a lot new, the same great taste.
