We continue with foreign correspondents, this episode focusing on Anglophones, telling of their experience of coming to grips with the particularities of life during the Lebanese Civil War, and in the process, building bonds with a place that never seems to kneel.

Land in Beirut, find a footing, navigate the spider web of connections, decode who is who, who’s killing who, who’s friends with who, who’s married to who, who lives where, where do you need to be?

Baptism by fire, walk the streets, hunt for stories, fall into a story, live for the story, put your life on hold. In survival mode, get to the front of the line, fill in the media gaps, report the stories never told, or no one will remember.

Get the break, the hostage taker communique, before the other agencies do, resist becoming a spectator to hope for the 'bang bang' pictures; get material, visit, interview, witness, collect, then before the deadline, synthesize, write, telex. The next day: rinse and repeat.

Surreality becomes reality, party all night at Backstreet, picnic at Burj al Murr, knafi from Bohsali, laugh, meet the woman you will marry, eat incredible chicken, get home at 2am under shelling. You are living your invincible youth, nothing can get to you, but you are not from "here" - are you a spy? - who are you? Get out of here, narrow escape.

بتوصل عبيروت، بتفتّش عن قاعدة تنطلق منّا، بتتصفّح شبكة الاتّصالات، وبتفكّ الرموز: مين عم يقتل مين؟ ومين صديق مين؟ ومين متزوّج مِن مين؟ مين عايش وين؟ وين لازم تكون؟ معمودية من نار: بتمشي بالشوارع وبتفتّش عن الخَبَر

بتلاقي الخَبَر وبتكرّسلو كلّ وقتك. بتحاول تحمي حالك وتستمرّ، بتروح عالخطوط الأمامية، وبتعبّي الفراغات الإعلامية، وبتنقُل أخبار ما انقالت من قِبل، أو ما حدا رح يتذكّرها. بتحاول تغتنم الفُرَص وتسبق الوكالات الثانية وتحصل على بيان الخاطفين. بتحاول ما تكون مُجرّد متفرّج ناطِر صور "الانفجار الكبير". بتحصل على المادّة الإعلامية، بتعمل زيارات ومقابلات، بتراقب وبتجمّع المعلومات. وقبل الموعد النهائي، بتلخّصها وبتكتبها وبتبعتها. وثاني يوم

بيتكرّر السيناريو ذاتو عَنْ جديد. السريالية صارت حقيقة. سهرة للصُّبح بـ "باك ستريت"، مشوار عَ برج المرّ، كنافة من عند "البحصلي"، ضحك، لقاء مع المرأة اللّي رح تتزوّجها، وجبة لذيذة، وبترجع الساعة 2 الفجر تحت القصف. إنتَ عايش شبابك لأقصى الحدود، وما في شي ممكن يتغلّب عليك، لكنّك مش من "هون" - هل أنت جاسوس؟ - مين إنتَ؟ اهرُب
