Tattoo You

More Or Less

City Mall (3) Wishing for extra bodies isn’t necessary…..

City Mall (2) A few extra hands are guaranteed…..

City Mall There are plenty of extra feet around….

City Mall (4)

and of course extra mouths to feed.

This is Lebanon, where families rely on each other…..well at least someone is relied on more than others, that person already has a few extra bodies to dress, hands to stuff cash into, feet waiting for new shoes and of course the extra mouths to feed while the very same mouth drinks too much arak and bellows out drunken advice at the very table the benefactor has provided.

Color My World

mr.design (2)   “Lebanese are being bombarded in the form of outdoor advertising. Billboards fight for attention. While many cities have beautification and restoration committees, Beirut counts on the creativity of advertisers to add a bit of color and at least temporarily add beauty to crumbling buildings.
Here are some of what Lebanese are subjected to on a daily basis. Enjoy or suffer along with us.”
saliba       Beirut Drive-by Shooting is 1 year old today. Thanks to the advertisers for providing so many great ads! Thanks to the many readers from around the world. Special thanks to the Lebanese Blogosphere.
