Hello Everyone,

I am going to Beirut January 5th 2007, until January 10th. I will then leave by taxi to Damascus, Syria on the 10th.
I have a brand new digital camera and would like to get some use from it. I am ignorant about laws taking pictures in Beirut/Syria. Does anyone have advice on using my digital camera?
Is it ok to walk around Beirut and take pictures? Will the Syrian officials confiscate my camera at the border?

Thanks.

Hi all
I'm new to VT. I'm an Irish journalist moving to Beirut from mid January for six months to one year for work. I am looking to rent an apartment, or possibly share. I want to live in a fairly nice area, preferably close to the city centre. Any recommendations on places to stay, prices I should expect to pay, and how to find a place would be most welcome. Any offers would also be welcome.
Thanks

Sad days for all of us who where planning on going to beirut this summer..
Now that the bombing has stopped i am planning on going to beirut in begining of september and i will be staying there the whole month.
What i am planning to do is to try to join the helping organizations there and see the before and after war situation. i think that will be an important experience. i believe also that by being there that will give people more hope that turist will come and the country will be built back again.
That's why i hope that as many people as possible can join me.. i do really believe it will help people and it will be an important experience.

hope u can come!

Hello everyone

I am an Egyptian who wants to stay in Beirut for 4 months. I hope you can help find a cheap place to rent for those four months. I will need a get a piano into the place, so, I think it won't be a hotel. Actually, I prefer private places, like studios and the likes, so I can be somewhat free. Any suggestions? Also, where can I find a piano to rent for the same period. I never have been to Lebanon before, so, it will be a totally new experience to me. I hope you can tell me about the social life, music scene, hanging out and food costs in there.

Thanks in advance. I appreciate your help.
