my source is through both works! (news and tavel agency)
a lot of the news stuff i am unable to talk about, but as far as travel goes, i have a client in Beirut. i was able to contact her two days ago and she said she was to catch a boat to greece. super. then a few hours later an email from her saying she was denied at the pier and told to go to her hotel and wait. i spoke with the ministry of foreign affairs and the embassy and was told a few ships just didn't make it and a fuck-ton of Canadian's over there did NOT register before going. durrr. so what they thought would be 400 people turned into thousands. i was able to get her put on the top of the list for evac, and since i have not spoken to her her.... which can either be very good, or very bad
