I’m not quite surprised with our government not providing the appropriate support to our Olympic team this year, but to disregard providing them with a formal attire is too much. Swimmer Katya Bachrouche wrote that the team had to make their entrance in warm-ups with duct-tape to cover the excess logos!
Still, we were of course laughing at the Egyptian team because they were provided with fake suits ignoring that our team had nothing to wear.
On the occasion of the security month (Al Shaher Al Amni), one of the blog readers sent me these two photos taken at the same time for two cars, a BMW and a Porsche, having the same plate number!
After hearing many rumors that IKEA will be soon opening in Beirut City Centre, I was just informed yesterday that they are not.
According to my sources, it seems that IKEA originally asked for a very large space to rent, but due to the high demand for shop space rental by a lot of other business owners, the people behind Beirut City Centre were unable to accommodate IKEA’s needs.
This I guess doesn’t mean that IKEA will not be coming to Lebanon at all, since they’re already showing interest in the country, but it will probably take time until they decide where exactly will they choose to open.
As electricity is becoming a luxury in the country, someone in Nabatiyeh thought it would be nice to light up the world’s biggest Ramadan lantern, while the town’s street lights are most probably always off due to electricity shortage!
The lantern is 18 meters high, weighs 4 tons, and took 6 months to complete.

Thanks @ritakml
May this holy month bring you and your families peace, happiness, and prosperity.

Joking aside, Kibbeh Nayyeh is probably the best Lebanese food selection, and is best made at the southern villages of Lebanon.
LYRICS:
I went downstairs to the fridge
looking for some kind of dish
maybe kabob or some riz
but you were in my waySo that is when I tried
to reach to the other side
to maybe get spinach pie
but you were in my wayMeat overflowing
ripped leaf mint was showing
olive oil a-flowing
I like where this is goingHey, I just met you
and this is crazy
but I want to eat you
kibbeh nayehHey, I just met you
but you look tasty
I’m gonna eat you
kibbeh nayehI don’t know how long it’s been
that you’ve been there in the fridge
I do not want to get sick
cuz you were in my wayBecause you’re raw and not fried
don’t want to get E coli
because then I would have to die
cuz you were in my wayMeat overflowing
ripped leaf mint was showing
olive oil a-flowing
Appetite is growing[CHORUS]
Before you came into my life, I wasn’t so fat
I wasn’t so fat. I wasn’t so so fat
Before you came into my life, I wore the small pants
and you should know that I’m getting so so fat.
Reminds me of the Lahme song
If something will ever be written in the history of Lebanon about Ahmad Al-Assir, this blog is going to be a great reference!
Someone decided to document the very interesting life of Al-Assir online and is so far doing a great job! Make sure to check it out here.
Regardless how ridiculously pricy Al-Rifai is, I loved their new ad!
