BERLINBEIRUT

Berlin has 6 letters, Beirut has 6 letters too.

Berlin and Beirut have many things in common: they were occupied, destructed, divided, reconstructed and today, people still say “East and West”. Berlin and Beirut are beautiful and ugly, strong and weak, proud and broken.

I felt the spirit of Beirut in Berlin. I melt with the Berliners and Beirutis. I walk in a street in Berlin, turn around a corner and continue walking in Beirut. I get on a taxi in Beirut and later I step of it in Berlin. When you walk in Berlin and in Beirut everything talks to you and seduces you.

Berlin and Beirut become one city.
