Lebanon has experienced it's first heavy rainfall, and a lot of people are overjoyed!
Winter has been a long time coming. But now that's it finally here, curl up with a cup of hot chocolate, grab a couple of blankets, listen to the sound of rain and read the excitement people are sharing.
1. There's definitely enthusiasm
It's raining in Beirut!
Rain, rain wow oh my God what is this??
Job well done Beirut
2. Rain brings out the poet in us
They lyrics come from Hatem Al-Iraqi's song and they mean something along the lines of:
I remembered you when the sky was cloudy
my soul couldn't find it's way back to you
I didn't know whether the tears were from my eyes
or from the sky's rain
(Just a little dramatic ...)
3. Indescribable beauty
Beirut, Lebanon's beauty is a sight that can't be described.
4. Hello to rainy days!
5. Even Lebanon's pigeons enjoy it
6. Cleaning the air out
7. The oh-so cliché photo of rain
There always has to be one, but it still gives me chills.
8. All these photo opportunities
The storm before the rain...
9. Some things change, others don't!
10. Finally, the inevitable pop-culture reference
Indeed, winter is coming!
