Travel adventures of an idiot abroad :-)

Travel adventures of an idiot abroad :-)

I've lived and/or worked in 8 countries and have been to 66 countries/territories around the world (as of Jan 2024). I use this KZread channel to post some of my experiences from living and traveling abroad. There's no particular theme, per se, besides "This is what I'm doing and this is what I've done." I hope you enjoy my content! Please subscribe and like! Thank you!

    Solo gli americani vanno in giro con le ciabatte a Milano . E da milanese non ho mai visto nessuno indossare queste calzature. Questa è come sempre tipico degli americani di non rispettare usi e costumi locali, ma di fregarsene altamente fino al punto d'imporre il proprio modo di vestire verso coloro che hanno delle tradizioni diverse e ciò è una mancanza di rispetto verso un popolo ospitante. Come al solito dimostrano di essere i padroni del mondo e di fare quello che vogliono come in altre città italiane come: Venezia, Roma e Firenze dove si appoggiano sui monumenti e sporcano con i loro rifiuti. Questo perché sono abituati a comportarsi in questo modo nel loro Paese. Traduci in inglese

    All over Lebanon you can pay with USD or Lebanese Pounds. My best advice for you is to bring plenty of cash because you won't be able to get any at ATMs and you cannot rely on getting to use electronic cash (Google Wallet, Apple Pay, etc). When we were in Batroun, there were basically zero (very few) foreign tourists but lots of Lebanese tourists. You won't have a clue that anything is going on (the war) since almost all of that is only down south. Batroun, for the most part, looks and feels very western and is extremely safe!

  • @mountyama
    @mountyama19 күн бұрын

    Also, even if you pay in USD, you might get some change in Lebanese Pounds and some prices are in USD whereas others are in Lebanese Pounds, but you can always use either currency.

    @@mountyama thanks for the info! Wasn't sure at all what to expect but this helps given the situation with the skirmishes and the economy. Last time I was there was 2017. As for foreign tourists, I've gone to Lebanon in years past and it seems most tourists are actually expat Lebanese and their families (include me in that bunch, I'm 1st gen American). But each visit I did notice a few Europeans here and there. Also appreciate the advice on using $$ there!

    They're a minimum wage worker who just wants to end their shift, close up, and go home. They cant do that while you linger around five minutes before the store closes. This signals you its time to go, and saves them one more step. Its not that deep, bro.

  • @mountyama
    @mountyama2 ай бұрын

    I appreciate the comment! I understand that the workers might not make a lot of money, but that's really not an excuse for closing early. I was at another location of the same supermarket today and at about 15 minutes to closing they were not even letting people in, turning the lights off, and telling customers (including me) that they were closed (not closing). That's not how to do business.
