Civilised? They invented the freaking alphabet 30 km north of my apartment. The current population just tends towards the trigger-happy and sectarian but it's pretty normal here, aside from the fucking power cuts. But I love it here - I can go diving in the summer and going skiing tomorrow. Besides, where else can I can get a top floor apartment in a good area with a view of the mountains AND the sea for these kinds of prices? Also, the REALLY good food is like 70% cheaper than London/Paris/Dubai/HK etc.. I think I'll keep Beirut, buy a UPS if when I get non-laptop computers.

Yeah that's the part that's just line noise. What are you sitting on right now? Couldn't it be a PDP-11 instead? And do you sleep lying down? That space could be put to better use.
