Fujifilm Beirut street photography

When I first knew I was going to #Beirut, I’m not gonna lie, I was a little bit concerned. I will admit I was not very well educated on the #MiddleEast and the country of Lebanon. So, I left with a stereotype in my head: that I’ll find war, protests, and mass destruction all around the place. Let me tell you that this is not the case. Lebanon, and Beirut in particular is a beautiful chaos. The traffic is completely madness but the rest, to be honest, is pretty normal. It is not very different from your city after all. It is just another crowded capital city. Too many cars, a little bit too much pollution and a lot of energy. It is safe though, there is a huge military presence in the centre, way too many of them if you ask me but that means usually that you're safe. Night life is pretty interesting. There is a huge variety of pubs, bars and restaurants. The food is simply amazing. And generally people seem to be very nice. I did feel very awkward when taking street photographs, especially in the beginning. People are very aware of what's happening around or at least that's what I felt like. I felt observed. Here's a quick walk around the city of Beirut. No, there is no scene of the destroyed port. I did not want to include that. If you wanted to visit Lebanon but you're worried about safety issues, don't be, there aren't really that many.
