Cost of living in Lebanon

Hi,

As i know there is no public transportation. Actually, there are some buses but the idea of public transportation is quite different than what we are use to, meaning that there are no station where the buses stop. Taking a taxi sometimes means to travel with other 2-3 people and th driver stop for each of the passengers. Subway, Tramway, Train...as i know, there are not such things in Lebanon. All the people i know in Lebanon have their own car.
Mobile phones: there are 2 companies that provide this type of services and compared to European Union space, prices are quite high. 2 years ago, buying a card with number was almost 100$.
A good menu in an traditional restaurant depends on the area of the country where you find this restaurant. An average price is around 20$.

Hi just to let you know incase you didn't get an answer, it's a good deal if you have a place to stay and the rest. Good luck!!
