Popcornbird,

People in Beirut drive like maniacs! A 2 lane road almost always has 3 lanes of cars driving down it. People cut in front of you all the time and try to squeeze in the tightest spaces. People will only stop at a red light if there is another car coming. Oh and everyone goes down the street against the flow of traffic. It is crazy!

The weather there is warm year round execpt for a month of rain in January. And th weather was nice while I was there except for a few days.
