Some dikkanehs have diversified and organized themselves
into a ‘specialty’ store, such as this one; household goods. Imagine that he's got to haul all this junk twice a day!! That in itself demands respect (as far as I am concerned).
This is the last one in the series of neighborhood dikkanehs.
If you have seen all 12, I assume you share my strange passion for these small
hubs of economical neighborhood activity (Or you must be incredibly bored). To
me, these little stores is (among a number of things) what makes Beirut what it
is; a big city with cosmopolitan dreams and a small town mentality. And I am
back in business.

Ha Sietske,
Fijne tijd in NL gehad? Leuke stukjes over de 'buurtsuper'in Libanon maar ik begin nu je verse stukjes wel een beetje te missen!
Tanti saluti uit Italie
And why this sudden outburst over "thugs, incompetents, crooks, ignoramuses, radicals and extremists" that are running Lebanon into the ravine in your previous post? Anything changed while you were away this summer? Y.
silent please.. she's waking up & it's not easy! :^)
Hellooooo......? Anybody home?.........
Don't worry, she's alive, statistics you know, mostly every day I got a hit from Lebanon and there is no doubt it's Sietske.
Geen nood! Er komt binnenkort een post! Heb t zo druk, kom niet aan schrijven toe.
