First Impressions of Jounieh, Lebanon 🇱🇧

[@r.castaneda1595]

Lebanon is so Beautiful. I think it has all the potential to recover from its current situation.

[@LukeDamant]

Absolutely, I really hope it recovers from all this

[@explorer666able]

AGREED

[@greveeen]

The politicians doesn't know what to do, besides sucking out the money of the country

[@monaharmony]

I pray our country is saved

[@explorer666able]

@@monaharmony for sure brother it will recover eventually good times ahead

[@myriamsouaiby]

Omg I can't believe you actually passed by Diamant's shop. I've been going to this shop my whole childhood.This lady is so kind and she always gives the best gift ideas. Thank you for these heartwarming videos, your vlogs capture so well all the diversity and contrasts of Lebanon. Keep it up!🤍🇱🇧

The local guy was so nice, took the time out of his day to show you lads around, great content!

I am a Lebanese I am happy that people saying good thing to Lebanon thanks so much and for Luke you visited lebanon

[@Altair.1187]

01:08 this guy was the most honest one you met in your whole trip, and yet you accused him of trying to trap you. He was actually feeling guilty that it's not fresh, it was made the day before, so he asked you first to try it, if you don't like it you don't have to pay. If you want it then go inside and pay the boss.

[@2020-p6y]

True 👍 I noticed westerns way of expressing body language is different than Middle Easterns. The way he acted with his body would be considered as sneaky to most Westerns. There's a lot of cultural differences that makes people assume things based on their own cultural point of view. I'm Arab myself but have lived in Europe and traveled have many friends from different cultures. It made me realise cultural differences will always be a problem due to being lost in translation. It's hard to understand when one isn't part of the culture for quite some time. I even noticed for intense in Europe ppl see Arabs/Africans/Turks/Iranese/Spanish/Italian ppl as agressive when actually they are simply passionate and express more with their body + speak loudly. And so on and so on.

[@yourmom-sz7kw]

I think he did trap him tho,12 thousand for a juice is expensive here in Lebanon

[@Altair.1187]

@@yourmom-sz7kw He didn't charge him ... it was the the guy inside the shop who charged him

[@MiLaDoB]

@@Altair.1187 you have to understand..guys...I grew up in jounieh...the guy who gave the juice to him..is Syrian guy .just making money to survive...the guy inside smoking is owner of the shop...they both are nice...since they asked him to taste..cause it was yesterday's juice ...they didn't want him to drink and say ..ew that was bad...

[@TheLeb123leb]

@@Altair.1187 it's not expensive when 1$ = 16,000 LB at that time, so he only payed like 75 Cents

God bless Fouad for taking you both all over Lebanon! Great video Luke!

[@Mal.C]

I’m watching this vlog again for a second time and just realized this is when you guys first met Fouad! Wow! So cool. Now you guys are super close. Fouad is an amazing dude! Typical Lebanese hospitality! 🇱🇧🇱🇧✌🏽

[@HakemzOfficial]

Respect to that local guy he's really nice! and glad he speak english very good! 🥰💖

[@DeparturetimeArsenal]

i would love to visit Jounieh, I'm Kurdish and its always fascinated me such a small country both in size and population, can be so culturally relevant and influential, especially in the middle east. Their influence is everywhere, from Fairuz being listened to over breakfast in Erbil to their Tabolueh being enjoyed in Cairo... I hope to go one day.

[@bassimakhanji3647]

Fouad is so awesome I’m so happy you met a friendly local👏
