Jayme · February 3rd, 2007, 08:25 AM

very intreasting, I love looking at the spectrum of residential in differant countries. Some of these houses look very nice. Would people say in general that housing looks notably differant then Lebanons immediate neighbors?

***Nadini*** · February 3rd, 2007, 07:42 PM

neighbors as in Israel and Syria or different cities across Lebanon. This is usually the traditional Lebanese house you would see across all Lebanese villages. I could be wrong, but I dont think Syria or Israel has this kind of housing, or maybe they have but its not common.

I wasn't thinking so much Israel. I was thinking more southern Syria, western Iraq, and Jordan.
