بشرّي

Thanks to Zaher

Bsharri- Lebanese town located just under the Cedar forest. The birthplace of famous poet, pinter and sculptor- Khalil Gilbran. Name of the city comes from Phoenician language and it means "the house of Ishtar"- one of the phoenician goddess. People from this town are known for their courage, hospitality and patriotism. Very characteristical for them is very strong accent that canno't be mistaken with any other. Postcard sent to me by Zaher- my Lebanese friend.

'I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.'

Khalil Gibran
