I've been there last winter. Nice antique stuff to visit. Good levantine food. Less fun albeit safer than Lebanon. Very expensive. They have a very high currency (pretty much the pound before Brexit), without much economical basis to it. A lot of scammers and shady Aladin-like characters. Pretty conservative, although they have a lot of cute levantine waifus. They are kinda hard to get. The Ukranian and American tourists are there to fuck though. Avoid american nigresses who are into arabic culture. Met one who worked in the UN there. She was a stoner piece of shit nigger. I think 4chan is blocked by ISPs there so that's why we don't have much people from there. All in all, you should go to Lebanon instead if you under 50 years old.

I thought it was a little less conservative compared to the rest of the Middle East.

>The Ukrainian and American tourists
I didn't think there were really any Western tourists there

>I think 4chan is blocked by ISPs there
Isn't that the case with most MENA countries?

>All in all, you should go to Lebanon instead if you under 50 years old.
Why?

>>61537841
Nice, I like that they helped out their fellow Muslims. Like >>61538236 said it seems to be one of the safer ME countries to visit, but do you know of any fun activities to do there? I'm more interested in things like tours of olive farms than say clubbing.

Taking in a some refugees is a good thing, but taking in every refugee that comes your way when you really don't have anything to offer is completely retarded.

>>61539083
True, I just meant it's nice that they weren't hypocritical Muslims like the Gulf states.

>>61538926
>I thought it was a little less conservative compared to the rest of the Middle East.
Yeah it's all relative I guess. It's definitely less conservative than say Saudi Arabia, but more conservative than Lebanon and North Africa. I went to Amman and all shops were blasting Quran and religious chants. Also a lot of fully covered women (perhaps Gulf tourists).

>I didn't think there were really any Western tourists there
Oh I met plenty in the hotels where I went and in the streets. It's very touristic.

>Isn't that the case with most MENA countries?
No only Saudi Arabia and Jordan that I know of as evidenced by the plentiful mena flags on 4chan.

>Why?
Because it's tourism is archeology/history (Petra, Amman) and thalassotherapy oriented with the dead sea, while Lebanon is party and drugs oriented. So I'd assume a younger person would prefer to go there.

That and there is a ton of difference between taking refugees in a place with relatively high welfare compared to a place where welfare doesn't exist or it's something that doesn't come with notable negative economic incentives like food stamps.

They make candy? It seems sort of weird that there's all this stuff in the Middle East and they remain pretty calm and civil.

It's still effectively a British protectorate, and it has the best health services in the region

Did you ever study/do residency there or anything? I seem to recall you studied in one of the Gulf countries, but can't remember which.

Never actually, upon arriving from the UK and in the total absence of any English curricula, I had my entire 2ndry school education in a Pakistani one, fun times. Graduated and took the iGCSE the following year.

Don't succumb to the depression m8, for me personally it's a fear of judgement and slander, once I began having ridiculously irrelevant discussions about politics with random strangers, things improved.

In the end, one would eventually realize that 4chan is a surrogate for genuine expression and that it's how you rationalize your situation that determines your happiness.

Wish you all the best, m8. Also a neat, proven way to stave off any depressive episodes is through creativity (writing, drawing, whatever hobby). You'll hate yourself and beat yourself down more if you feel you're servile and catering to other people, much more powerful and self-confident if you lead and create.
