                                                             Lebanon vs London

            Lebanon: 

                                                                                                                                                                   I have spent my entire life living in Lebanon and never has a day gone by where I do not wish I was living here. Lebanon is filled with fun activities and culture and tradition that is so strong that helped grow a bond that ties us Lebanese people together. we share ideas and language and forms of communication that only the people of lebanon can understand.   

   

 Now one of my most favorite things about lebanon is the food!

Lebanese food is my all time favorite, it immediately brightens up my mood and makes me happier. food brings people together and plays an important role in gatherings and outings. Lebanon is knows for tabbouleh and "mashewe", as well as hummus. 

 another important thing in lebanon is the sightseeings. we have beautiful places in lebanon that need to be visited and viewed.  zaarour, chekka, Tripoli. tannourine, Baalbak, all those is amazing places that should be seen.

Baalbek

all these places create a sacred bond between the person and the country lebanon. 

Culture:

Lebanon has long been known for its high-quality book publishing. A flourishing film industry produces high-quality films. A revival of folk art, music, and dance began in the late 1960s. The national folk dance of Lebanon is the debki, a line dance. People hold hands and step and stomp to the beat of a small drum called a derbekki. Belly dancing is also popular.

fish and chips: 

                                                                                                                                  

      Jellies eel :The eel was a cheap, nutritious and readily available food source for the people of London

Sightseeings:

  everything in London is in walking distance, when I travel there I barely use taxis and any from of transportation except the metro.

London metro: 

The London eye: One of the world’s largest Ferris Wheel, the London Eye is also considered as one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United Kingdom, and probably, also in the world.  the London Eye, located on the south bank of river Thames, is not only a huge Ferris Wheel, but also the tallest cantilevered observation in the world. In a way, this could be true as it offers the highest viewing point in the city of London.

 Big Ben: Big Ben is the name given to the bell in the clock tower. The tower is attached to the Houses of Parliament and was built so that people could see the time (during an era when most people didn't own watches).

Culture:

 Public art: 

the city of London promotes creativity and a  successful public art program helps communities develop and express their unique sense of place and character which draws tourism and investment activity to the city.
