°µÍø½ûÇø

Hello there!

I'm discovering °µÍø½ûÇø, seems nice!

So let's introduce myself:

I'm Pierre, 29, freshly arrived from France in Lebanon (about 1 week)

My great plan is to stay here for at least several months and maybe more. This is my second time in Lebanon, I spent one week on holidays last April before reaching Syria and really enjoyed both countries.

I was raised in the South East of France (Aix-Marseille) and spent last five years in Paris. The fact is I never really found my place there and feel so more confortable in Greece, Italy or Lebanon. (Yes, definitely SUNNY countries!)

As my ex-roomate is Lebanese and because I'm really interested in Middle East since a very long time, I decided to come and try to get a new life !

As my ex-roomy's family allowed me to stay with them until I could find a job, I'm not worrying about a place to stay right now (I'm in Borj el-brajneh, south suburb btw)
I'm learning lebanese (apparently fus'a is not so useful here) with my friend.
I also met some nice people via CouchSurfing.

My aims are:
- to learn Lebanese Arabic
- to get a job (yes I know it's difficult, especially since I don't speak the language)My perfect job would be with an NGO but I cannot afford to stay earning no money, so... I used to work in Market Research, if you care to know.
- to get a place to stay on my own
- to meet a lot of people! I'm of course interested in any kind of people, Lebanese and °µÍø½ûÇøs, travellers....
- to live like I wish. It means mixing Lebanese and Western ways of life, picking the best of each spirit.

I'm a native French speaker, I'm (almost) fluent in English. Basic knowledge of German and rudiments in Greek, Dutch, Hebrew.

Ok, I'm sure I've forgotten something, but...
