Heaven On Earth

           Are you curious about my title? I am not exaggerating. I have traveled to many places, throughout the 16 years of my life. The most amazing, astonishing, and impressive place I have ever visited is Beirut, Lebanon. Even though it does not sound like the "best vacation spot", for me it is home. It is beautiful, breath-taking and full of different cultures. There are many hotels, and even though they might not be five-star hotels, they truly connect you to the incredible culture that fills Beirut.
           I go to Beirut, almost every summer. It is not only the beauty that attracts me, yet my whole family lives there. Even though we live on different continents, we are still pretty close. Going every summer, creates an unbreakable bond, that I think will last a lifetime. When we go, I meet new people and I usually learn new things every day. The thing that I love the most, is that the people in Beirut are not materialistic and do not care about your physical appearance. All the people are nice and simple. I have made many friends there, and I truly love meeting people. They are all different from my friends here, that is why they interest me so much. Today, with the help of Facebook, from time to time I can talk to them.
           Lebanon is incredibly important to me. It connects me more to my parents, because I get to see there old houses and their lifestyles. Beirut is heaven on earth. Trust me, it is amazing, I repeat it is amazing!
