it is great -and sad- to go on a meshwar right next to home. this is my first christmas aways from the family, and i was spending my morning reading the news ad by chance landed on this video. it does feel weird to fly over home that quickly... well you started filming a few meters away from home, my family lives a hundred of meters before the broumana sign, and i felt what would be the odds of them driving by in the video.
ye3neh, all that to tell you, thank you. i think videos are quite a powerful tool, maybe more of them, from beirut, corniche, gemmayze, AUB and bliss are. i am being selfish here to want to see all the lebanon i miss.

This brings a lot of good memories... I used to work at Brummana Highschool, so I know this road and the bumps inch by inch!

I attended Brummana High School in 1968-1969 when I was 16 years old. Great memories. Thanks for posting this video.
