If you've never seen a hard rock cafe I guess it's ok to go there - otherwise just head for any bars downtown: they are so much better.

I guess everyone knows its motto: "Love All, Serve All" - and, if I may add, "Stay Home". It's located in Ein El Mreisseh, inside the Bayview Hotel, along the Corniche. But if you need the Hard Rock Cafe during your travels there's something wrong with you Buy the T-shirt! I hope you haven't gone there for the food!

| Group Trip! | | |
| | ||
 |  on September 22, 2003 |
It could be that you choused the touristy group trip in many different cities in Lebanon! This could cause one problem; you have to obey the graphic of the whole Bus. In some restaurants waiters could really serve you really slow and delay your order, don’t be afraid please to be strict in a gentle way to ask for a very fast service, to avoid such a problem as to be the last one to start eating and the Bus with the rest of the group is ready to go as everybody finished! And they will wait for sure but the entire group will hate you and blame you, and you don’t wan this especially when it is not your fault. |

| No Discounts! | | |
| | ||
| on September 22, 2003 |
Ok in Tripoli the tourist trap you can face in the season of the discounts that many shops and Magazines are keeping the same high prices. No discount indeed is done even though they are putting on the word “Discount”! The reason is unknown for me or for Lebanese themselves, but one thing I’m sure that knowing the Prices in the no discount period and comparing it with what they call a discount is a real Bull ***. |

| The Cedars | | |
| | ||
 |  on August 8, 2003 |
It may well be the symbol of Lebanon, but a trip to the Cedars, just to watch the trees or to go skiing, is a waste of time. The trees are beautiful, but they are not many, so don't expect a forest full of cedar trees. If you are used to ski in Europe or North America, you'd better leave your skis at home. But if you're into a picturesque and somewhat charming skiing experience have a few rides down the slopes. Beware of the power cuts, you won't get any money back. It's fairly expensive to stay at the Cedars for the budget traveller, around USD50 for a double with bad heating. Stay close to the skiing slopes if you want to go skiing. Taxis are scare sometimes. Go there during the season, it's a bit of a drag in the slow season. Make a daytrip from Tripoli. |

The forte of Moussa is a nice place to visit. It was built by someone called Moussa who was a failure at school and a day dreamer...well dreams did actualize for him in building a magnificent forte but don't expect lots more inside... |

Taxis: make sure that the meter is on (or at least there is one in the car) or make sure to ask in advance about the fare. |
