k&k episode 273 - the one where Katia talks about Beirut... and stuff...
In episode 273 it's Katia's turn to talk about her summer holidays. You'll get to hear all about her adventures in Lebanon, including unexpected encounters in the airport, crazy driving, party time in Beirut, a visit to the ancient ruins of Byblos, the caves of Jeita and a Lebanese winery, and some of her first impressions of the country, such as what it was like to visit a place that had been so severely hit by civil war.
This episode was brought to you by the word "dépaysant" (exotic/disorienting).
MM and Katia visited Byblos, Jeita Grotto (one of the candidates to the new seven wonders of the natural world) and many more interesting things.
This show was fascinating because it reminded me of my time in Egypt. Culture shock to the extreme.
It was odd seeing guys walking down city streets (not in uniform) carrying M-16 rifles. I loved the fact that you referred to the women as "ninjas" in their black burqa-type outfits! That was adorable!
I dressed very conservatively while there. Ankle-length skirts and still got leered at. In fact went to a bazaar & the proprieter was very friendly & insisted on giving me a hug. I'm very huggy, huggy, kissy, kissy anyway so of course I want to bridge our cultures! OMFG!!! It took me a minute to figure that he was rubbing his dick on my leg. EWWWW!
We won't even mention the spider bigger than my fist that was in my room in Abu Simbel.
I'm just glad you both made it back safely.
GREAT SHOW GIRLS!!!!






It seems the flu is making its rounds in France. I hope the two of you are taking precautions. Especially you Ms Mac, with your susceptibility.
