Bread, Tim Tams, and cement...

So, here I am in Lebanon, where there is not a loaf of North American style bread for hundreds of miles for less than five dollars a loaf ($), most bridges have been destroyed and are replaced with temporary ones, and every second building is in a state of paused construction. The great thing is that they import things from Australia some how, so I can have as many Tim Tams as I want.

So far we have done a little door-to-door gift delivering for Christmas, and I have played with a lot of kids. There are a tonne of kids. Everyone speaks Arabic, most others speak French (slightly lucky me), and most speak a little English. We have lots of people taking us around who speak Arabic though, so it hasn't been a problem yet. The internet is of course extremely slow, but that's ok I guess. As long as I can do this every once in a while.

We are going to paint the inside of a house in a few days for a family, which is kind of exciting, although I'm worried we will screw it up since we don't really know how to paint. And it's raining now, and has been since yesterday, and probably will for another day at least.

I am still at the place where I can't believe I'm actually in Lebanon, but it's slowly becoming a reality.

I will update with photos as soon as I can if I can, cause it will be a miracle if it doesn't take eight hours to load one photo. Other than that, I'm safe and sound, and hopefully I will have some amazing stories to tell soon. Bye bye
