This is Lebanon =]

I love Lebanon's remarkable diversity. It always amazes me. I came across some videos that really show how diverse and culturaly complex Lebanon is. The first is a short film, produced by 2 Lebanese in Lebanon. Its a funky film about life in Lebanon...and in general with all its good and bad. The second video is a music video for the Lebanese Indie group Mashrou3 Leila.... they play the music in the short film i selected. The 2 videos are two of my favourites, I love how they give you that "other side" of Lebanon... so touching :P. Enjoy :) Here is the info about the short film:
