When I think about Lebanon, my mind goes straight to the tough times of the civil war. But, your video opened my eyes to the stunning coastline that I never knew existed. It's really beautiful! The explosion at the port of Beirut was absolutely devastating. I feel terrible for the people of Lebanon. They've already gone through so much and it's really sad to see them suffering even more
The civil war was a defining moment in the modern history of Lebanon, and even though it technically ended in 1989, we're still living its repercussions because of the political/ governance structure it bred. That aside, the country is nothing short of beautiful -- the beaches, mountains, people, culture and food. Though it's been one catastrophe after the other as if living in purgatory...
No. The economic collapse started in earnest in late 2019 with a liquidity crisis when huge sums of dollars that belong to ultra wealthy and politicians left the country following mass protests against corruption and government mismanagement. And with little capital inflow, dollar (which is widely used in Lebanon next to Lira and also a way to pay for imports) became hard to come by. Banks as a result shut small depositors out of their savings and the local currency began to sink. But really the disaster was decades in the making because of the way the banking sector functioned and how successive governments failed to enact reforms. Covid in 2020 compounded the unraveling economic crisis and the port explosion made it even worse. There's a good explainer on Reuters about how Lebanon got to where it is now, if you have time to read it: www.reuters.com/markets/rates-bonds/lebanons-financial-crisis-how-it-happened-2022-01-23/
Beirut looks really beautiful.
Thank you. It's even better in real life.
Beirut is a beautiful city. I see endless potential in its future! Thank you for introducing it to us and stay strong. ❤️
I hope the same for Beirut!
I felt for you. I hope your country and people will recover soon.
Thank you! I hope these wounds heal.

😱
好多关于黎巴嫩的影片。焦土之城也是有提到吧！
我很喜欢黎巴嫩一部电影异乡人，，，，
第一次听说这部电影。哈哈。我查一下
Is the reason for the economic collapse in Lebanon, because the port has been destroyed and still not rebuild and fully working as before?

I remember when I was a child, all I heard on the news was the wars between Lebanon and Palestine.
Do you mean Israel?

很难想象当时你看到自己的家乡遭受灾难时的心情，还好家人没事，伤疤随潮水褪去，人们更加珍惜自然与人的和谐共生，就好比中国的一句家喻户晓的老话：金山银山抵不过绿水青山
小的时候在课本上看过威尼斯的水城，但最想去的还是去荷兰看风车，现在听你讲述一番，我很想去贝鲁特观海了，你不去当导游浪费你个人才捏
如果有机会，我建议你去黎巴嫩看看。它有很多问题，但无论什么它这是你见过的最美丽的国家之一！
黎巴嫩和叙利亚一样，太惨了
你的国家很漂亮
