How good are Lebanese in adapting Western cultures?
The Lebanese are the descendents of the Phoenicians who ‘economically’ ruled North, East and most of South-Mediterranean Sea around the first millennium BC. Being a cross-point for ancient and modern civilizations granted Lebanon a mix with local, Eastern and Western Civilizations. Lebanon is the only country in the region where most of the schools, from kindergarten to college, teach in European languages; English and/or French. Lebanese cities in general do not look any different from European ones on the North Mediterranean. On the other hand Lebanese keep many traditional Middle Eastern and Arabic customs.
