This is a home furnishing store not a beach resort.
Again, this is a home furnishing store not a seafood market.
Don’t be fooled, nobody in Lebanon is homeless. Illegal homes, yes. Homeless. No.
Parking and “no smoking” rules are strictly enforced. Wink wInk.
Do yourself and the rest of us a favor, stay out of this guy’s way and don’t make him play that annoying musical horn.
Sometimes being Lebanese takes a lot of effort. Maintaining the perfect manicure and pedicure with the latest colors. Following the latest fashion trends….
Getting through the night in the highest of heels….
Finding the perfect sunglasses…..
But the best part of being Lebanese is that you can dress once a day.
In Lebanon, evening wear is acceptable for daytime visits, the office, shopping, touring and even the beach or pool. Leave those sensible shoes in your closet.
And sunglasses aren’t only for the sun, there are bright lights in the clubs, pubs, restaurants, and malls, not to mention those annoying bright car lights on the highway. If you must remove them for any reason, keep them on your head. You never know when a bright light might appear.
Lebanese food is well known but it’s Lebanese drink that keeps everyone going. The day must begin with Lebanese coffee and perhaps it will be your good fortune to get your fortune told in the bottom of your cup.
Power up your day with Abu Abed’s power drink. Somehow the heavyset guy on the bottle looks like he should be serving up a plate of raw liver.
Quench your thirst with this authentic Lebanese soft drink and if you smoke, grab a pack of Cedar’s cigarettes.
Grab a Coke and a smile, maybe you’ll win a Blackberry Torch or ….something.
A cold beer with your lunch sounds nice. Ordering beer in Lebanon is easy. “I’ll have a beer.” “Almaza?”. Say yes.
Feeling a little sluggish? Nescafe is a great little pick-me-up. An afternoon delight shared with a neighbor. Yum.
What better way to end the day? Lebanese wine filled with the goodness from the land….
and in true Lebanese fashion…..
the story changes as you go..
There are many new “deals” from the local cell phone companies..
Deal or no deal?
No deals here, we’re still paying the highest rates in the region. FYI: One misscall= yes, two misscalls= no, three misscalls= hurry up, I’m downstairs.
Most Lebanese men usually avoid toupees and proudly display their baldness but then they proudly display their chest hair also.
Political unrest or anything else that your embassy warned you about never stopped the party in Lebanon and neither does our slow internet.
