One thing\u2019s for sure: living in Lebanon has its ups and downs. Before packing your bags and spending your entire life savings on a one-way ticket, here are a few things you should know before moving to Lebanon.<br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>Pack a Few Pairs of XL Pants<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/38229.png\"><br \/>  (Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/memebase.cheezburger.com\/ragecomics\/tag\/grandmas-house\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Rage Comics<\/a>)<br \/>  <br \/>  You\u2019ve most likely heard the food is amazing. This is absolutely 100 percent true. But what you may not have heard is that there is no set time for meals and your host will not take \u201cno\u201d for an answer when offering you a third serving of every dish on the table.<br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>Bring Your Best Pair of Rain Boots<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/38229-1.png\"><br \/>  (Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/blogbaladi.com\/25-pictures-a-video-of-the-zena-storm-from-all-over-lebanon\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Blog Baladi<\/a>)<br \/>  <br \/>  Lebanon is not well-equipped for stormy weather.

If not, no worries &#8211; you will be. The electricity will go out enough times you&#8217;ll eventually walk up nine flights of stairs to get home instead of waiting at the bottom of your building for three hours. That is, if you find a home.<br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>Property is Expensive<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/38229-4.png\"><br \/>  (Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.memegen.com\/meme\/ltlc1v\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Meme Gen<\/a>)<br \/>  <br \/>  With a pretty steady influx of foreigners and no rent control laws, it&#8217;s easy to find yourself paying big money for an apartment the size of a shoe box that you share with your best friend. <br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>Toughen Up<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/LF8plQNlgYwnK\/giphy.gif\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  (Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/LF8plQNlgYwnK\/giphy.gif\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Giphy<\/a>)<br \/>  <br \/>  If sound startles you, suck it up, and get ready to mistake fireworks for gunshots every 15 minutes and end up sh**ting your pants.<br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>A Lousy Internet Connection<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/wDWquJx.gif\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  (Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/wDWquJx.gif\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Imgur<\/a>)<br \/>  <br \/>  Download all the songs, series, and movies you\u2019ll need for the rest of your life.
