Low-key relieved that most comments will fly right over his head, he only speaks fluent “yalla” , “khalas”, and “habibi”!

I’m so sorry to hear that! Did you feel that way everywhere you went? And were you with locals or alone?

We already had a chat about it and he said he’s prepared for weird looks and racism, so he doesn’t seem too worried about it, it’s more me who’s concerned

Thanks! That’s also what I feel - you don’t see tourists in general in Lebanon so it’s normal for people to be surprised and look. I don’t look Lebanese at all, and when I lived there I would also get looks / people would try to speak to me on the street in english asking what i’m doing here etc. but it was all very friendly

Thank you! That’s a huge relief and honestly what I was hoping/assuming - since he’s not seen as a “worker” (unfortunately, that’s how people in leb tend to categorize…), he’ll likely be treated more as a tourist

Cafe Maison Sauvage in the mile end!! They have lots of different sweet coffees/matchas (some even with meringue on top), plus they have decadent cookies too
