Behind me was the rather gorgeous Banque du Liban, but with nasty black graffiti all over it. After I had taken photos of the defaced central bank, a security guard in a military uniform came out to tell me to erase my shots, so I did. He wasn't belligerent or nasty. When I told him I had no idea what the graffiti said, he explained, "There's a revolution. You don't know? A woman couldn't take her money, so she got angry."

With increasingly stringent capital control, many Lebanese are furious, so some have unleashed their rage on banks.
