    Whether you’re living in Lebanon or abroad, you can relate to some of these signs that show that you’re definitely Lebanese!

    You freak out when you see weird variations of hummus or shawarma

    Avocado hummus? Vegan shawarma? Some people just want to watch the world burn.

    You visit Lebanese restaurants when you’re abroad

    After all, Lebanese food is the best.

    You bring A LOT of food when visiting someone for the first time

    Because “3eib chou bi oulo 3anna l jame3a?”

    You pack a lot when traveling even though it’s just for a week

    You have to always be on fleek.

    You mix three languages without even realizing it

      Hi! Kifak? Çava?

    You don’t need lights to walk around your house

    Power cuts trained you very well.

    When you’re abroad, you calm people down when the power cuts

    You seriously have no idea why these people are panicking.

    You have a lot of patience thanks to the slow internet connection

    Or maybe not.

    You know that this is not an Italian hand gesture

    When your parents do this, RUN!

    Your non-Lebanese friends do not understand your body language

      We have a pretty bizarre body language.

    You abbreviate a lot

    Mar Mikh = Mar Mikhael Monop = Monoprix Macdo = Mcdonalds’

    You’re a translator when you’re abroad

    You can add that to your CV.

    You know who Abou Kis is

    You even imagined how he looks like when you were a kid.

    You know how to dance the dabke

    And you love it!
