Delivery magic

This blog post was recommended by Gretchen, how do you like that shout out! First things first, as I write this I'm watching Bring It On on our Lebanese cable, genius. It's the little things. I don't think I have written yet about one of the greatest parts of where we live: free delivery. I mean absolutely free. Anything you want. Whenever. For example, I just ordered myself a bottle of wine, because I'm classy like that...or lazy. The amazing thing is how quick it is delivered too, not to mention they bring it all the way upstairs. I'm telling you, the Lebanese have the service industry down pat. They are the nicest shop owners, and wait staff I have ever come across. This is no surprise with how nice all the people are everywhere here in Lebanon. But they genuinely want to be friends. Mike, the salon owner we pass everyday to and from school, comes out every afternoon to talk. Yesterday I bought some veggies for dinner but realized I forgot an onion. I stopped at another shop and tried to buy one, but the guy wouldn't let me pay, just insisted I take it. Ryan and Mike, not the shop owner Mike :),  have talked a local bar to let us stream football games there the next night, so Tuesday we are watching he Monday night game there.  There are some guys Ryan met that invited him to play soccer Wednesday nights, so that is helping with how much he misses the softball team! 

The people here are incredible. 

Side note: school has been going amazing. Tomorrow I'm taking my grade 10 to Starbucks to discuss enlightenment ideas thanks to a lesson from Gretchen. Can't even imagine doing that in the states.
