<\/p>\nHaving two passports has many perks, but it can sometimes put you in funny or awkward situations.
If you have a dual nationality, you might be able to relate to a few things from the list below:<\/p>\n
1. You become the perfect catch<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your parents\u2019 acquaintances all want to marry you off to their kids so their grandchildren can have a \u201cpassport ajnabeh\u201d too. <\/p>\n
2. But where do you feel<\/i> like you\u2019re from?<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Your entourage always asks if you feel more Lebanese than Canadian and you\u2019re always anxious and uncertain about how to answer. <\/p>\n
3. Getting together with your family is a true struggle<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
You probably have relatives who are still living abroad while you\u2019re back in Beirut. Time zones are a real enemy and planning trips to visit each other yearly means lots of logistics and Skyping. <\/p>\n
4. It\u2019s not always easy to explain<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
It\u2019s always confusing when people ask about your origins: are they asking where you were born? Where you grew up? Where you live now? Should you give a brief history of your ancestors too?<\/p>\n
5. You\u2019re the King\/Queen of the world<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
You feel like you\u2019ve beaten the system because having two passports means you get to travel wherever you want without having to go through the hassle of applying for a visa.<\/p>\n
6. The airport lines<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
You want to show off at the Beirut airport arrival by standing in the foreign queue but you feel cheated because the \u201cLebanese Passport\u201d line means less waiting.<\/p>\n
7. The real deal<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Since you probably know a second language really well because you grew up abroad, it almost feels like you cheated a little bit. You didn\u2019t even have to try to get that extra skill on your CV.
\u2028<\/p>\n
8. You\u2019re charming and exotic <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Though you\u2019re fed up with people finding your Senegalese origins exotic and unusual, you\u2019re still happy it gives you some kind of secret charm that makes you look more interesting with possible partners.<\/p>\n
9. You lead a double life<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Like the real Lebanese you are, you have the freedom to go undercover either with your Lebanese or foreign identity when you\u2019re abroad, depending which one suits your situation best. <\/p>\n
