Looking for contacts in Lebanon

Hello,

I am French and plan to spend a week or so in Lebanon, early 2006.

In order to prepare my trip, and to learn more about this country, I am looking for Lebanese people, French-speaking or English-speaking, with whom I could start an email exchange.

The reason for my coming to Lebanon is handcraft. I'd like to discover Lebanese handcraft, especially woodcraft and ceramics (including mosaics) and assess whether it could be possible to import Lebanese handcraft in Europe. Thus, this will be both a turism and business trip.

Also, I'd be interested in finding out whether Lebanon could be a suitable country to reside in, as I'm getting a bit tired of living in Europe and am looking for other possible places.

Thank you for your attention,

Philippe
