I know that a lot of people are waiting for my first post about Beirut, but I'm still writing... To keep you amused in the meantime, below is another video I filmed during my visit. It was taken at La Plage, a rather chic bar / restaurant on the Corniche, on my second day in Beirut. The guy who's speaking is Hans Jaap Melissen, a reporter for Dutch Radio who clearly has a fabulous sense of humour. He's the one who took us to La Plage; as we entered and I took it all in - the waterfront location, the beautiful people, the sunset and the luxurious setting, I said jokingly, "Wow, Hans, the life of a war reporter is really tough, huh?" You'll see his tongue-in-cheek response in the video.
