<\/p>\nLebanon, like any country, has its flaws. While it\u2019s obvious what needs to change in this country (we wouldn\u2019t say no to some electricity), this is more of a social experiment to see where everyone\u2019s priorities lie. We asked the first thirteen people we saw on the street to tell us what they would change about Lebanon, some of the answers may surprise you!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish we had better spouse and child protective services. I fear getting married after watching so many of my friends\u2019 husbands get violent with them and their children.\u201d<\/b>
– Leila, 32<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish we had more sexual open-mindedness. I\u2019m a girl and I\u2019m worried that if I have sex with my boyfriend word will get out and I\u2019ll be called a slut.\u201d
– Nida, 26<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be great if marijuana was legal here. I want to buy my weed without worrying about the darak. Seriously people, it\u2019s less harmful than alcohol.\u201d<\/b>
– Amin, 26<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish people could be treated like equals in this country. The other day I was at the General Security offices and the way they were treating the migrant workers was horrible.\u201d
– Hind, 39<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish there were more local bands to enjoy. I get sick of the R&B and Hip Hop that plays in pubs.\u201d<\/b>
– Ziad, 18<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to have electricity 24 hours a day so I don\u2019t have to go up the stairs to my apartment when there\u2019s no electricity!\u201d
– Abdallah, 66<\/p>\n
\u201cI would change the fact that I can’t find an apartment whose rent costs less than my salary.\u201d<\/b>
– Bob 24<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish public transportation was safer. The traffic situation over the past year has become unbearable and cabs can get expensive!\u201d
– Aida, 34<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want free public Wi-Fi!\u201d<\/b>
– Hassan, 21<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish something could be done for all the beggars on the street. I feel helpless looking at them and knowing they may never have a fair chance at life.\u201d
Giselle, 56<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish all the supermarkets would stop selling fake and expired products! Seriously, I’m tired of getting poisoned.\u201d<\/b>
– Cynthia, 30<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish politicians would stop closing roads every time they want to go to the parliament, it\u2019s not like they get anything done there anyway.\u201d
– Nuha, 34<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be cool if we had more gay bars in Lebanon, maybe help us move into this century?\u201d<\/b>
– Omar 28<\/p>\n
