Hello all,

I just found this website, and I'm about to move to Lebanon on July 21.  I was born and raised in the US but my parents are Lebanese.  Now, although I have been to Lebanon almost every year since I've been a young child, I am amazed that I do not have any international friends in Lebanon!  All of my friends are Lebanese, but I would love to meet international people.

Would anyone be interested in holding a social event to meet each other?

hello,

I would like to ask you on a broader scope, what is the best way to make friends when you move to a new country?
I suggest:
- internet ( facebook, it is very common in lebanon)
- bars ( jemayze is the best place to be)
- gym ( there are a lot of good ones)
- ski resorts ( faraya)
- beaches ( there are a lot of good resorts in the south and the north)

In Lebanon, however u need to keep in mind that the people are really warm and good hearted once you get to be one of them ( which is the challenge like anywhere else on this globe)
The easiest way i can think about is to have a lebanese bf if u r a girl or a lebanese gf (which is not that easy because of the culture unless u found a girl that is open or that she lived abroad)

Hope my tips help and let me know about any info u need about lebanon, where i can help as i was born and raised in this contrast and wonderful country.

cheers,
antoine
