Lebanon – At the Crossroads By Sam McManus
The drive up from the city had been both disorientating and familiar. It is strange to see in the same panorama both the turquoise ripples of the Mediterranean and mountains heavily laden with flashing snow, petering out to a light dusting of castor sugar lower down. Familiarity emanated from the solid traditional houses of creamy…

Rio de Janeiro 'Cidade Maravilhosa' or 'Reasons to be cheerful in Rio' by Tony Annis
