So I trekked out to teach my English class today, and only two students were there. At first I was sort of disappointed, but then I thought of taking those two out to lunch, so it ended up being fun and not a complete waste of time. Camilia, who is one of the more advanced English speakers, ordered for us after asking what we wanted, and I guess I have a lot to work on, because I ended up with a french fry sandwich. Oh well. The place where we ate, in Haret Hreik, is called BFC- “Beirut Fried Chicken”.<\/p>\n
Yesterday morning, Ethan and I paid a visit to the General Security building to try to get our visas extended. Our six-month multiple-entry tourist visas expire tomorrow, and our flight to the US doesn’t leave for a few weeks. Unfortunately, it is “impossible” to extend beyond 3 months, so we have to leave the country. Our current dilemma is whether we should go spend a couple of nights in wonderful Aleppo, or just go past the border at Masnaa and back.<\/p>\n
UPDATE: Aleppo it is. We’ll be back Friday sometime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
