I havn't updated this in a while because there isn't much that's been going on. I'm currently cutting blisters off my foot that are bigger than a quarter and the same thickness. That's what playing basketball barefoot outside does apparently, so learn from my mistake. Don't worry, no picture this time.

Phone services here are SO expensive. They only have prepaid phones, probably because if they sent bills to people no one would pay them. I've spent around $60 on minutes already since I've been here.

Anyway, here's the update for last week:

1)
What: David Guetta
Where: Downtown Beirut
When: Saturday 11:30pm - 4:30am Sunday Morning

It was awesome. That's the only way to describe it. Here are some really bad quality pictures:






2)
What: All you can eat/drink wings & beer
Where: Hard Rock Cafe
When: Monday Night 5:30pm - Midnight

Even more awesome. And yes, we were there for over 6 hours. We have to get our moneys worth. This may have been the best night so far for this entire trip.


The Sign in the Bathroom


3)
What: House Party
Where: Still unsure
When: Thursday Night

Basically I met some guy at Hard Rock Cafe and put his name in my phone as "Guy From Hard Rock Cafe" and got a call from him Thursday. He said he's having a house party at his apartment somewhere in Beirut. So a few of us decide to risk our lives with this stranger and go to this party. It started with a cab ride to no where and waiting 20 minutes on the curb for this guy to come lead us to his place. The party ended up being a lot of fun. Luckily no one got killed, robbed, or sold into human trafficking.

4)
What: Beach party
Where: Byblos
When: Friday Night

So someone said there's a "beach party" going on an hour north of Beirut, so we grab taxis and head over there. Since it's a "beach party," some people wore swim shorts and clothes. Ended up just being a club really close to the beach... Regardless, it ended up being a lot of fun. And the taxi ride there wasn't bad! We had a van and it only cost $25 for the hour trip.

Again, full album will be on Facebook soon with all the pictures for these events that I don't have yet.
