Tyeb El Eid – Everybody Deserves to Dress Well for Eid

By Rami on May 29, 2017 in Charity

Tyeb El Eid is an initiative by Cherine Kabbani aiming to provide those in need with free decent clothes this coming Eid.

The whole thing started earlier this month when Cherine wanted to donate some of her old items to those who cannot afford new clothing on Eid El Fitr and asked her friends on Facebook to do the same. However, soon afterward she was overwhelmed with the stuff that people were willing to donate, so she thought of renting a place where people can drop off their unneeded items and make them available to those in need.

The project of course needed some funding, and with the help of a non-profit organization called “Wafa” Cherine was able to rent a small shop in Bourj Abou Haidar (Beirut) where she receives a lot of items everyday and even got a batch from PM Saad Hariri.

Cherine’s store is already operating now and the stories she is sharing on Facebook about the people picking their new clothes from the place are so heartwarming.

Those who would like to contribute to Tyeb El Eid initiative can either check the Facebook Page for directions or get in touch directly with Cherine on 70 964 595 to arrange for a driver to pick up their donations.

LC Waikiki is Finally Opening in Lebanon!

Almost all those who have traveled to Turkey are probably familiar with the famous clothing store there called LC Waikiki.

I’ve been twice to Istanbul with my wife over the last couple of years and each time we went to LC Waikiki we ended up buying more than a dozen items each, we even got enough stuff for our little boy that had him covered for a whole year. The brand delivers products that are of seriously good quality at very affordable prices.

A friend sent me these two photos from City Mall Dora yesterday showing LC Waikiki are set to open their first branch in Lebanon. And while it’s definitely a great news, I really hope they expand into other places because City Mall is my least favorite shopping destination.

You don’t mess with Lebanese expats! – Part 2

By Rami on September 10, 2012 in Lebanon

I have no idea when was this footage recorded, but it shows a Lebanese man in his 7-Eleven store in the USA being threatened by a criminal with a bat trying to steal the money from the cash register. You’ve got to see how he responded! Typically Lebanese!

Also check an earlier post I published last month showing how another Lebanese man, Nicholas Dawoud, was able to hold an armed criminal at his convenience store.

Thank you @ibarazi

Costco in Beirut

By Rami on January 10, 2012 in Lebanon

I’m pretty sure it’s not the real Costco, but it does exist, and it has the major American products you might be looking for.

The place is located in Jnah, and I went there last Sunday after a friend told me about it. They have a variety of products ranging between clothing, food and home goods. Part of these available products (especially food) can be found at other large supermarkets like Spinneys, at almost the same price if not lower, while other stuff cannot be found anywhere else and are a bit pricey.

Note that Costco is not the only store of its kind there in the area. There’s another place called “Amtrag” located just next to Costco, in addition to a store called “Brands for less” known for importing the German brand “Tchibo” located 100 meters down the road from TSC Jnah. I believe they’re all worth a visit!

Below is a map showing where Costco is in case you want to check it out.

Derriere

By Rami on September 25, 2010 in Funny

I took the below photo while having a walk around Beirut Souks. Seriously, why would anyone want to call his store “Derriere”? (Equivalent to “butt” in English) Imagine “طيز” being hanged above some place in Beirut, it would be something eh!
