Friend of mine got run out of Lebanon when he was a child. He was one of the Lebanese Christians. Girls used to go crazy over him. Imagine a tall, 24 year old Omar Sharif with no mustache, who works out with weights. Great guy.
We had a pharmacy student from Beirut that came to the US for an internship and worked out at our studio for a while. Absolutely beautiful girl, very very sweet, made friends with everybody, we hated to see her have to go back. She did have a habit of looking at herself in the mirror during exercises, but that’s a peccadillo. :-) It’s a lovely country but you worry about all the good folks that live there.
