It's always been very westernized. When we lived there it was considered the resort of the Middle East. It only takes a few hours to drive the full length of the country. We never got to venture outside of Lebanon because it wasn't safe for Americans. My Dad got to go everywhere with his work with the ambassador so I got to live it through all his photos. I still keep in contact with people we met in Lebanon and have met new Lebanese friends through my work.
