This Weekend's FT
The article about Beirut's consuming party atmosphere and the general state of Lebanon's present status makes for excellent reading.
Personally I find it hard to stomach the concept of one of the theme bar's that is mentioned.
Called "1975" the bar's theme is the civil war, with waiters in army fatigues, bullet marked walls, sand bags and a general image of a far more unpleasant time in Beirut. Given the rebuilding that has been done and is continuing and the vibrancy of the life in Beirut, I can't help feeling that this is a step too far. Having said that, the picture in the paper shows that they don't seem to be short of customers.
There's no accounting for taste!
