Marc, its great to see you visiting all the spectacular and ancient cities, monasteries and the Cedars of Lebanon. I had done the same when I was studying in Beirut. I just would like to add couple of interesting facts that I learned at a cultural expo in Genoa, Italy. an expo that demystified all our biases. take coffee for example. we keep calling it Turkish when in reality, coffee has absolutely nothing to do with Turkey or Italy, another country we associate coffee with. Do you know who introduced coffee to the world? The Arabs. The city of Moka is in Yemen, where the Arabs discovered it across the Arabian Sea in Ethiopia, Africa. They took it and perfected the harvesting of coffee, hence the label Arabica. The Turks learned and adopted the food of the Arab world when they arrived from Central Asia and served the Caliphs. when the caliphs of the different Arab dynasties were waging wars against each other, the Turks seized the opportunity and they turned against their masters and occupied the entire Arab world. With that, they took everything from food to architecture, from the Levant countries, North Africa. etc. when the Ottomans started invading Europe, they brought with them the coffee they had learned how to drink in the Arab world, hence the appellation Turkish coffee. words like coffee, rice, Lukum, sorbet, artichokes, orange, lemon, vines all were brought to us by the Phoenicians and later the Arabs. all those words take their root not from Greek or Latin but from Aramaic and Arabic. these things are deliberately not taught in our western schools in order to justify our western and cultural hegemony and superiority. Read Sanford Holst (an MIT scholar ) and his work on the splendor of the Ancient world and the Phoenician Secrets. They taught the Greeks so many things and founded the Minoan civilization of Crete. Not to mention Malta, Sicily, Sardinia, The Spanish coastal towns. Have you visited Tyre, the birth place of Europa and Carthage? Its a must. Greetings from Norway, the land of the midnight sun

Mr Wiens we have two possibilities here. Either you don't know that USAID is a CIA front organization or you know and you simply don't care - or even worse, you actually support their vile 'cause'. Whatever the case, this type of thing is not going to benefit your vlogging career once people know the truth.

Mark Weins should be awarded for these beautiful videos of yummilisious food, beautiful people and different cultures that he brings to those who may not be able to experience it in real. There are places that many of us never knew about. The type of living you don't see everyday.
