Mate Beirut is an awesome place to waste time. Id definatly do Bliss Street, Hamra, Downtown , Have a walk down the beach from ain al mraiseh all the way to the rawche, have a bite there, tons of fast food restaurants (kfc, burger king, mcdo) , then hit downtown, its a couple minutes away from forum, spend some time in the virgin shop, listen to records, check the library (an amazing pastime always), then have a final walk down our cool downtown before you hit gemmayzeh. Its all an awesome pre-gig atmosphere , youll see tons of people like you who are preparing themselves for pvd. Try inn-tuition for a cool pre-rave atmosphere. Then take a service

to forum , put the freak spirit 'on' and have a good time ! Good luck mate!
