The Holidays, the gifts and the food

A lot of people visited malls during the holidays, to either get gifts to their loved ones and colleagues, to have dinner, to shop for the big dinner, watch movies, buy clothes... It was too crowded, I actually bumped into many persons while I was trying to reach the movie theater.

Large audience gathered around Christmas charols in Geant Casino mall.




Another great place for shopping is Arax Area, that is in Bourj Hammoud. You can find anything there, from clothes, shoes & bags, perfumes, home stuff, artisanat, sweets, anything you desire! But the best of it, is the food, armenian sweets and some dried fruits (picture below).



After shopping all day, a person is bound to feel hungry, and if you haven't heard of the Famous Falafel Arax, then you've missed a lot. It is highly recommended. A great finish for a great day.

Happy Holidays

Adha Moubarak and Merry Christmas, two great holidays occuring within a week period has to only mean one thing: Get United.
With those holidays, I wish for Lebanon in particular to attain Peace and overcome all the difficulties it has been facing lately, and for everyone in general to "appreciate what they have", and to give to those who are less fortunate.

Happy Mother`s Day

To all blogging mothers out there in general and especially in Lebanon, to my mother friends and relatives: Happy Mother's day.

الى أمي، ينعاد عليك وعلينا

Who better describes our feelings than Marcel Khalife in his song "Oummi" (Mother).

This is Lebanon!

The thing is, with all that has been happening in Lebanon lately, the demonstrations and campings in downtown Beirut, would make all the tourists think, Lebanon has been deprived of having a fun and nice holiday.

Well ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourself to be amazed and surprised once again by the Lebanese people's reaction. We have been going out every night for the past week, and you should see Saturday and sunday. I took me an hour to go and get back from a bank that is 2 KMs away. I went shopping 25 meters away and got back because I got tired just from checking one place, it had the least 20 people in a 16 sqm area.

Yesterday we decided to go for our Sunday afternoon's dinner then coffee, and it tooks us almost half an hour to drive a 3km highway. We were stuck in traffic the minute we got on this highway. Both ways, north and south were full.

If you think people are afraid or unfestive, think again. Lebanon is ROCKING! Seeing all this traffic for the first time didn't make me go crazy, it actually made me realise once again, despite Lebanese people's flaws and problems and craziness, we love life and we want to live it, everyday!
