Qatar just announced today waiving the visa requirements for Lebanese nationals as we have been added to the list of countries whose citizens can obtain a visa upon arrival to Qatar. (Source)
Given the large number of Lebanese expats in Qatar, this is definitely a good news at least for their relatives here. However, I can’t but find it odd that we were not granted this privilege by a gulf state until its neighbors started imposing a blockade on it…
I spotted these Vimto bottles at TSC Hazmieh yesterday.
Vimto is a quite popular drink in the gulf, and to my knowledge people there heavily consume it during the holy month of Ramadan that stocks are sometimes rationed!
I bought a bottle to try it out, and noticed that it actually contains berry flavored concentrated syrup to be mixed with cold water, but found it tasting quite average compared to the homemade berry juice we have here.
Anyway, if you’re used to Vimto and was looking to have it in Lebanon, you now know where to find it!
It looks like some people are quite happy about the turbulent situation in Lebanon and the warnings that were issued by several Arab countries regarding visiting the country.
According to The National, some GCC wives are satisfied that their husbands won’t be able to visit Lebanon this year and peek at the beautiful women here!
“This is one of the best summers” in a long time, one of my Emirati friends told me recently. She, like many Arab women, would get annoyed at what she called “buddy bonding” – guys-only trips to places like Lebanon. “My husband will not be going with his male friends to Lebanon and I feel so happy about it.”
The husband was quick to reply: “Well, if you want mountains, Lebanon has them. If you want beach, Lebanon has it. And it doesn’t hurt that wherever you look, you see beautiful women. A bonus for the eyes.”
In retaliation, the wife said she will be heading to Sweden this summer. Source
And that would of course mean one thing, more “beautiful women” for us who live in Lebanon!
