And one story that always kind of captures my imagination.

The street's lost culture.

And you're listening to Kearning cultures.

Today we're talking about love and technology.

This is Rezan, who you'll be hearing from a lot more in our episodes as a co-host.

We spend the majority of our time connected to a phone or a device.

And so you can imagine there's a lot of stories to be told of what happens when we're connected.

I'm Rezan Al-Zayani. And I'm Hibah Fisher, and you're listening to

Kernan cultures. So today we have something of an epic modern love story that takes us from

Lebanon, it's Holland, Cyprus, and back to Dubai.

This is Alex, one of our producers.

And I feel like this one's interesting because it defies continuous odds, distance, culture, war,

and visa restrictions.

And it all starts on a really unique platform, MSN.

Yeah, do you remember MSN?

From what I remember, we would come back from school and continue to

talk to our friends that we just saw in school for eight hours of the day on MSN. I used to be on

those chat messages too. You know, you'd get home from school and go straight on MSN. That was,

He's 19, goes to school, goes out partying with his friends, and is often online.
