...life of a Middle East correspondent isn't all conflict and crisis. In fact - though I may regret letting my editors in on the secret - when there isn't a war, the living in Lebanon is pretty darn easy. Ski season opened here properly a few days ago with the first sunny weekend at Faraya Mazaar, Lebanon's most developed ski resort. And, as the saying goes, TIME was there...
