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.

And the worst thing about it - I've got LOADS of room for this thing, I live alone in 150 sq m flat (well I have a cat, so that's like 1.3 people).

I just don't have the power infrastructure to run it. And NO I am NOT buying my own diesel generator.

How about moving back to a civilized country?

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.
