🇱🇧 Vlog Beirut | Street food, urbex and... mE 22

I walk around the center of Beirut in search of street food. First I have a manouche, then a falafel, then a wonderful fruit juice, and after that, I explore some abandoned buildings of the center of Beirut, such a fascinating place.

[@tfridson4380]

You must be a courage person Kino Yves to go into dangerous places! Congratulations for all your videos in the middle east. 👍

"It's very easy to make a nice image of friendship, but much more complicated to have them live together". Very true comment. Especially in Beirut

[@phorusable]

Very sad. 20 years ago I visited beirut and time seems to have stopped there. Nothing works like it didn't work before.

[@eliowehbe8334]

The church is for maronites catholics and the name of the square is martyrs square

[@q8wrestling223]

the best "cocktail" smoothie is: 1 carrot, 1 banana, and some pineapple juice then blend with a dash of salt and pepper. :)

[@rdkuless]

a smoothie in the USA cost upwards of $9 or $10 dollars.... $1 doesn't even cover the cost of a banana.

[@Diego_Borges]

I just love Gemmayzeh. Wish it wasn't 12h by plane from where I live. In the last year the area changed for better. I was in Beirut in May and had a blast, again.

[@gy6569]

@ 8:56 Nice looking Porsche 911!

[@teeammm5518]

Would love to know what that last abandoned building looked like when it was in perfect form. Looks so royal. How sad

[@KinoYves]

Yeah, it surely was stunning.

[@user-oj2mv8xn3h]

[@monst3rmoody]

It looks like a gulag from the inside now ahaha

[@fredrikkarlsson3003]

You are really inspiring

[@Judy874]

Petite anecdote sur le snack de falafels! Si vous regardez bien les devantures des snacks , les deux appartiennent à la famille Sahyoun! Ce sont deux frères qui ont séparé leurs business il ya longtemps et se sont installé l’un à coté de l’autre en guise de concurrence!

[@KinoYves]

Super anecdote! Merci beaucoup.

[@timahomsi9707]

Sahyoun claims they own the whole world; this is not a joke this is bullying by claiming every good thing in the middle east is of a sahyoun origin. It is like saying everything in europe is of nazi origins

[@balance3201]

Good abandoned buildings!

[@KinoYves]

Yeah!

[@seantynan1]

26:56 #ACAB Beautiful expressions of freedom here in this old building

[@LM-pk4uo]

that was funny about the drawing of the guy with the money and no head ! interesting to tour inside of here.. I guess a lot of the graffiti happened during the revolution.. but strangely the demonstrating really stopped.. I guess just no hope the gov will change. I dont know how people survive but they find a way. many leave the country which is sad because this is their beautiful homeland, they shouldn't have to leave this place.. they used to have a fancy christmas tree but seems that stopped. Its great you are their Christmas Eve.. makes you wonder wha people are doing.. you can imagine families home gathering for Christmas Eve, making the best of what they have. Ashrafiyah usually has more christmas stuff but not sure if they did when you were there. love how you get into the most interesting spots! your videos are very exciting and well done.

[@rubenvaldes7392]

Where were you? Gemmayze? Zaatar and cheese was my favorite manaousheh combination. The Blue M. Sahyoun falafel was the best!

[@KinoYves]

I was between Gemmayzeh and Mar Mikhael, closer to Gemmayzeh

[@rubenvaldes7392]

@@KinoYves Very nice! I stayed in Mar Mikhael, right by souq el tayyeb farmer's market

[@drama-uu1ox]

Gud Lack bro

[@mor120]

What type of camera do you use?

[@sharonwall9188]

I also thought the neighbors next to the hotel were a potential problem; (luckily not)kind of creepy. The women looked desperate to keep you around!!!

[@geox1283]

Be safe man ! And try to stay around popular and safe places like batroun, jbeil,....

[@flower9144]

Salam.. Lebanon, all Lebanon, is safe..

[@otakugamer820]

it's not that complicated i have a friends group of almost all the religions , the diffrences are purely political , they dont care what religion you are but what political party ur with (thats where it gets complicated )

[@flower9144]

Salam Yves.. before, living together; muslims and christians wasn't complicated, my father and his family were living with christians espescially the Armans, in Borj hammoud in Beyrouth.. and when they leave because of the civil war, they continued to comminicate with each other.. the civil war wasn't between the people, but between milichia and because other country like israel, U.S.A and saudi Arabia and others... espescially that israel occupated South of Lebanon at 1978, and arrived to Beyrouth at 1982.. my freind is sunni.. Our neighbor in Chia , in south of Beyrouth; Dahia, was christian.. we have in Dahia in our neighborhood 2 church..

[@KinoYves]

Yes. Very sadly, times have changed a lot...

[@wissamsamaha5628]

AND NOW IRAN

[@ef2718]

The civil war started in April 1975.

[@OFFICIALFUNUSBAND]

suprised to see RUNES on the graffity wall...

[@Setanta69]

Phoenicians gave Runes to the Celtic Druids, and Nordic people, they also gave ancient Irish their language. So, Runes are actually Lebanese.

[@BiomeLeb]

Beirut is sad

[@KinoYves]

With the crisis, yeah, it has a kind of latent sadness

[@sharonwall9188]

Why not show a nice restaurant cuisine as well as street food?? 11:31

[@carlosrafael1854]

Ciganos !!!

[@louieyoussef9149]

You pay depends on US dollar

[@tillykelp9744]

It is very sad to see what must have been once beautiful beautiful building destroyed. Even sadder is the modern architecture springing up amongst the ruins. Just terrible and for what reason??

[@KinoYves]

I guess the main reason for the abandoned buildings is the civil war from 1975 to 1990. Then the country got slowly better, but lately everything is collapsing again, because of the blast that destroyed the port of Beirut and the hyperinflation. Buy for the abandoned buildings, mostly the civil war I think.

[@carlosrafael1854]

Cada um tem o que merece....

[@kamyabghanfili7695]

When I watch this video,I really miss your smiles and too much using the word "basiclly"😘😊

[@KinoYves]

Ahahhahahaha, yeah, and me your hugs basically! 😘😁

[@anbessiemulate8693]

Basically.

[@flaviosilva-qb7sm]

I have a question for you ? You just eat bread or lunch ? Is not real food there ? I can visit place if not a good meat, rice pasta or lasagna...l can not survive eat only bread bread and lunch

[@rdkuless]

people look at these huge structure and don't think that they were built long before power tools, and cranes.. they had horse and buggy in the time frame they say they were built.. Please explain how 70 ton blocks of solid stone were stacked on top of each other without a crane or transported with wooden carts over thousands of miles to the site..? LOL These are old world buildings from many ages ago.. and Age is 1260 years, 12 ages is about 10k years. We are currently in the age of Pisces. and entering the age of Aquarius. Pisces it the bible age. These buildings have been around for ten's of thousands of years (ages ago) built before the great mud floods.. That is why we see buildings that have basement windows that are now covered by sediment. When they were built they were at ground level. We don't understand our history. It would be really interesting to see you tour these ancient caves that are from the old world. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ml7OgmuEp5eJh68

[@JosephOccenoBFH]

I don't think there are any Jewish communities living in Lebanon 😄 although there are Assyrians but not too much mentioned as Maronites, Druze, Orthodox, etc.

[@KinoYves]

Yeah, of course, I think it's when I said Druze, somehow I pronounced it almost like Jews. When I edited the video I was thinking the same... why the hell did I say Jews.... very weird, and then I realized that I probably just mispronounced Druze, and then it sounds like Jews 😂

[@JosephOccenoBFH]

@@KinoYves No no .. I knew you said Druze. 😁 I was making a joke. All the Jews, if any, would have moved to and transferred allegiances to Israel. I used to take Arabic language classes at Mar Elias Arabic Church in Chicago and the congregation is made up of Middle Eastern Christian Communities: Arabic and Assyrian (The Assyrians don't consider themselves as Arabs although they are very much bilingual.) One of the church members is an Assyrian guy from Beirut. That's why I brought this up; usually when one mentions 'Assyrian' what comes to mind would automatically be Iraq. I've also met Assyrians who came from Iran but it's uncommon.

[@fred9098]

There used to be a Jewish community of 7 thousand member living in downtown/central Beirut. In 1976, they were evacuated to Israel to never return back to Lebanon.

[@user-si7iu7lq4g]

Why these buildings are neglected!? Horrible places why u are there. God save u

[@amaliaghic7366]

👍🇷🇴👏

[@khalidalali186]

Based on your reply from the Tripoli video. If the common soldier in the Lebanese Army makes $70 a month. That begs a self-evident question of, who are they building all these properties for? The Lebanese that live overseas in our countries here in Arabia, or Australia, Europe, North and South America or even Africa? Or are they Lebanese oligarchs unapologetically delusional?

[@KinoYves]

If you talk about all the buildings around the abandoned movie theater, they were in the process of being built, but since the hyperinflation started in Lebanon, and since the explosion of the port of Beirut, all the construction works stopped, and the buildings are left abandoned and unfinished.

[@The-football-gods]

Yves where are you now this is Christmas last year it’s 23/02/2022 so which part of the world you now 😂

[@KinoYves]

Still in the Middle East! I can't quickly go far with this bike 😂

[@politicalanalyst830]

stop showing the negative picture about Lebanon traffic lights, garbage and destroyed buildings , also stop talking sunni and shiea its not good , go to the mountains , explore nature go hiking and enjoy the weather, stop showing refugee camps and Palestinian neighborhoods and garbage which was caused by your country France back in 1948 along with the British, trust me those people would love to go back and live life with dignity , if Lebanon was like it used to be i will not live in the U.S.A one more day in my life , its the best country to live in and enjoy its hospitality and loving Lebanese people. go read history and see what caused the country to become what it like now, civil wars , Israeli invasions, battling counties on our land , armys , all that and Lebanese people still standing , war in Ukraine started 8 month ago and France is suffering already with economy and high prices inflation and gasoline issue , i can keep going on and on , Dubai took off back in 1975 exactly when Lebanese civil war started , trust me if Lebanon was in a good shape and stable your country and multiple other countries will suffer , countries surrounding Lebanon will suffer with their economy and there is a reason they don't want to let Lebanon take off . we had enough bull shit from other countries we don't need any more , may i know whats the purpose of your videos ?
