Just because I am blonde...

Message to all Lebanese men: Just because I am blonde, this does not mean that…

- I appreciate it when you drive up next to me when I’m walking on the street and ask me to go for a drink - I will say yes to the above proposal - I want to go home with you and meet your wife(!?!) - I want to sleep with you - I don’t have enough knowledge of Arabic to understand it when you call me a whore - I am a whore

Message to all Lebanese:

Just because I am blonde (and tall, and obviously a foreigner), this does not mean that…

- I will pay 3000 Lebanese liras to go from one side of town to another by shared taxi, instead of the regular 1500 - I do not know what hommos, tabbouleh and fattoush are - I need tourist-commentary on every landmark we pass by on our way to the South – a trip I make at least 3 times a week - I need you to communicate for me when in a taxi, post office or store - I am Christian and you can talk bullshit to me about Muslims - I will reply when you say ‘Guten Morgen’ or anything else in German

Thank you for your cooperation.
