This menu will leave you in awe!

By Rami on March 29, 2011 in What the fuck!

I really can’t believe someone can be that bad in English… the menu items are just unreal!

Tabboush snack is a proof that sucking at translation is not exclusive to Egyptians and Syrians (with all due respect), apparently Lebanese too can do a terrible job sometimes. The place offers Urination, Bebse, Duonas, Zaluoaa, Flesh, Black chickens, and a lot more… check for yourself.

According to my friend who provided the photos, Tabboush made 25,000 copies of the menu… so there’s 25,000 copies of this thing possibly roaming the streets of Beirut and ready to massacre your brain at anytime!

It was good, but it definitely doesn’t beat Paul.

Hamra Festival

By Rami on September 11, 2010 in Lebanon

Last night marked the start of Hamra festival lasting till Sunday featuring a lot of live performances across three stages near Vero Moda, Jack & Jones, and Starbucks.

The festival started on Friday at 5:45PM with a street parade that lasted till 7:30PM, but unfortunately I couldn’t manage to get there before 9:30PM which explains why I only got back with a couple of snapshots! You may check Sietske’s and Rawad’s blog posts who were there and took cool photos of the event.

What was remarkable though during the walk I took is the number of people who got furious at the street blocks, so a lot of them took the liberty to just move them away and invaded the festival premises with their cars. The photo below shows one of them, a taxi driver.

The program for today and tomorrow is loaded with live acts starting 5PM till midnight, so make sure to be there!

53 Photos + 1 video from Bourj Abi Haidar clashes

By Rami on August 26, 2010 in Lebanon

No need for introductions here… you’ve all heard and watched about the clashes that erupted in Burj Ab Haidar 2 days ago between Hizbullah & Jamiyyat Al-Masharii’ Al-Khayriyya Al-Islamiyya (The Association of Islamic Charitable Projects). Yes, an islamic charitable association that possesses machine guns and RPG’s! Kif, leish w min? No one knows. What I know though is that what they did is everything but Islamic, and horrifying people in their houses is certainly not an act of charity!

The craziness that we witnessed was of course not over a parking space as the two parties officials claimed in the media, and it will remain a mystery until someone comes clear about what happened. Let’s see what is awaiting our beautiful city from these ignorants!

Anyway I leave you now with the below video and photos that I found on the web for the clashes and the aftermath.

Dinner in the Sky – Now in Beirut

By Rami on August 7, 2010 in Lebanon

I got the photos below from the launching of the not-so-new dining concept that was lately introduced to the snobbish people of Lebanon, a dinner in the sky.

This dining experience consists of a 22 guests table that goes up to 50 meters in the air (with the aid of a crane of course) along with three staff members, the waiter, the chef and an entertainer, to enjoy a magnificent view of the city while having your dinner. I’m not sure though if the adrenaline rush will allow you to identify how does the food really taste…

The launch of “Dinner in the Sky” took place at BIEL on June 11, and was attended by media personalities, celebrities and VIP’s (you know those who have 4-digit car plate numbers). It was held by ALF Events and the food was catered by La Table d’Alfred.

In case you’re interested, you can reserve the whole table for 8 hours at… $15,000 ONLY! So that’s $727.27 per person, ya baleish! Still, their website claims that you can divide the 8 hours according to your taste, so the more people you can get to share the 8 hours with you, at the rate of 22 person per session, the less the cost per person will be.

Hiking from Rachaya Al Wadi to Ain Ata

By Rami on August 5, 2010 in Activities, Photography

A friend of mine introduced me to Footprints nature club back in March and convinced me to go on my first hiking experience with them to cross the hills from Rachaya Al Wadi to Ain Ata.

It took us around 4 hours to finish the 11 Km hike. The hardest parts of it was whenever we had to go down hills, it might seems weird but during a hike you put more energy when going downhill than going up.

I’ll leave you with some of the photos I took, the mountain showing in the panoramic photo is Jabal Al Cheikh which is known for having snow covering its peaks for most of the year.
