The garbage beaches and mountains of Lebanon

""Skiing in Lebanon is very popular," explained Ezzad Kraytem, Secretary General of Lebanon's Olympic Committee. "The slopes are only 20 minutes away from the coast, so you can go to the beach and ski in the same day."" I really wish that the Lebanese would stop peddling that cliche. We have mountains and beaches here in California too, and they are more beautiful than the garbage beaches of Lebanon. (thanks Matthew)
