Is Lebanese Hospitality REALLY as Great as they say?

[@20CamelsEmily]

How do you guys feel about the Leb series ending? Are you excited for Bolivia?

[@20CamelsEmily]

I’ve been amazed by how many of you have expressed a deep connection to the people and places shown throughout the videos, remembering Lebanon and almost being transported back to places you haven’t been to in so long. I’ve also received many messages and comments from you saying that this series has renewed your love and hope for Lebanon, because you feel reminded of the beauty & positive things amidst the financial crisis. All that being said, it’s hard to say goodbye to sharing these Lebanon stories. However, all good things must come to and end, and I’m super excited to share Eastern Bolivia with you all. It’s a place I’ve visited 3 times so far in my life (which is a lot for me!), made many friends and gotten to know it as another home. It’s a gorgeous and interesting part of the world that not many people show or even know about. I’m excited to give a voice to them here on the internet. See you in Bolivia 🇧🇴

[@imtiesahamadsiam1549]

No

[@ngh6074]

Thank you for sharing your experience and emotions- the reason you feel connected is because American missionaries who set their first foot in Lebanon goes back to 1819 have made great influence on Lebanon s heritage- they all were buried in Beirut ✝️🌷🎖🌷🇺🇸🧡

[@VideosSmokin]

Please revisit Lebanon. There are always new things and places to discover. I go to Lebanon every year and always nice things to do in Lebanon.

[@trashbandicoot557]

Hurts to see you leave Leb! your series just brings us back home! thank you for this and hope to see you back in Leb very soon!

*Thanks for all your warm comments about the beautiful country of Lebanon. You are always welcome back anytime in the future, and hopefully you will discover more charm in this small hospitable country. In my opinion, Summer time is the best to visit with guaranteed sunshine every day!*

Nooo wayyyy. That’s Hussein my neighbor, I live on the same floor, the house in front of him. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Hussein is a great guy. Him and his family are very generous and hospitable. Next time you’re in Baalbeck you’re invited over to our house. Take care guys, and hope to see you in Baalbeck soon.

[@robbieandkimberly]

you guys show Lebanon in a way the others don't (they dish out fast food, you guys make home-made bread), drive to Baalbek, our fave, was hilarious and fun

[@eandraos]

I am watching the beautiful Lebanon series again. You guys have done a Fantastic contents watched all your vlogs you tube videos & love each and everyone. Thank you for shedding light on a small country with so much to offer. Heaven on earth. Lebanon is everything you said through your channel. It stole my heart. The people of Lebanon are kind and generous to their neighbours. I'm going back home to Lebanon this summer and I'm so excited! All the love from lebanese people to you. Please come back again to Lebanon. EA ❤

[@logic6877]

thats a saaaaad news. take care of yourself guys...we really felt all this time that you belong to lebanon. we will miss your videos.thanks for your patience even all the existing problems over lebanon . we hope to see u again one day.

[@husseinhaydoura7898]

I think you will also find someone of Lebanese descent in Bolivia 😂 Thank you for all the positive feedback about Lebanon. It is a bit of a surprise because you went through the current crisis period in our country.. It was a difficult period for us as Lebanese. We enjoyed every video on every trip, we hope you liked the food and hospitality and experienced all the good positive things here not "the bad ones" (every country has two sides).. As a Lebanese, I am proud that someone from outside my country admires him so much. I hope that one day the Lebanese will start respecting and admiring their own country, as you did, and begin spreading positive vibes and not focusing on the negatives. I wish you best of luck and success on your next trip with Valentine to Bolivia. God bless ya 🙏

Congrats, great channel and you guys have a really good vibe! You have shown Lebanon in way more details than other vloggers do, one actually feels like if you have been living here for a while. If you keep it up this way, your channel will be a differentiator in this field. Will be watching your future trips to learn in depth about places I haven't visited. Cheers!

[@David-R.]

Too bad they're going through crap over there. Those people are party animals, the best people to hang out with and have the greatest time. If it got better over there I'm going to be REALLY happy because they don't deserve to suffer like this. In the whole middle east you won't find people more civilized and level-headed than the Lebanese people. I'm speaking generally because I'm sure there are crazy mfs everywhere in the world. Lebanon vibe is a really good vibe overall however. Thanks for sharing this heart-warming video. Love from the United States.

[@francgoodman]

[@khodotany]

As a Lebanese man. I want to thank you for your videos about Lebanon. I have seen many of them online.

[@TheVcasf]

Arak isn't actually high percentage since it's mixed with water. It's like the french Pastis or the greek ouzo. A quick idea to help grow your channel. Since YT is full of viewers with different interests, it could be a good idea to cater to more topic of interest. So for instance, those who research hand made fabric will search for related videos. So in your visits around the world, consider visiting such places and film a detailed video. Other topics could be animal shelters, vegan food, non vegan, carpentry, music, homemade alcohol, homemade foods, salt basins, anything.... good luck

[@ahmaddavidrifkin7988]

Nah your wrong there on Liquor the Levantine Arak is way stronger than the Cypriot Greek Ouzo the former is 50 to 55 A B V while the latter is 35 to 38 A B V

[@ahmaddavidrifkin7988]

The Turkish Rake and the Levantine Arak are considered Hard Liquor while the Greek Ouzo is Soft Liquor like Apperetif

[@ahmaddavidrifkin7988]

They are common in Fermentation and Herbal Components NOT in A B V

The one video that sums up Lebanon is the one with the man you visited that sang like Charles Aznavour and called you Hayeteh (my life). I’ll miss all of your Lebanon videos but the real tragedy is not seeing more of Élio, the man needs his on YT show. Emily you have an amazing ear for languages, I’ll miss hearing you speak in Lebanese Arabic better than many lebs living abroad. Can’t wait to see your Eastern Bolivia vlogs but Lebanon is part of you now and will be calling on you to come visit her again in the future. Thank you both🙏
