Last Sunday I thought of taking advantage of the nice weather and go shooting some sunset photos at Ain El-Mrayseh, but the outcome turned out far away from what I had in mind.
For some reason, every single Beiruti has apparently chosen to go have a ride on the corniche, so I ended up getting stuck in a traffic jam for more than 30 minutes… and you think it was boring? Hell no! It was not!
Next time you get stuck there like me, try to look for the clowns who drive their cars with their feet. YES WITH THEIR FEET!

So, this guy decided to stand up like a monkey on the driver’s seat, in the middle of the road, and control the steering wheel with his feet, without forgetting to raise the radio volume to the max while listening to Goerge Wassouf (you thought he was listening to Nostalgie? you silly..!)
And it looks like being cool these days is associated with getting out of the car window when you’re going for a ride on the corniche! Then you’ll get to open your mouth to the air and literally “teikol hawa” like our 2 friends below.
Conclusion:
Ain El-Mrayseh + Sunday Afternoon = Bad Idea. New York (aka Hamra) could have been a much better option.
NO WAY!
Guess what… I saw these lads in the same place like a bit more than a month ago. Was it mid Feb? And it was late at night, like 9.30 pm. It was entertaining and quite distracting. I wasn’t even paying attention to my driving I could’ve had a few accidents there lol But I was mostly worried that the guy might fall back and he ends up under my car or something.
lol this is a funny post. You happen to be at the right place and the right time! You really bring back my memories of Lebanon. Keep it up!
i am surprise rami inno you donno that sunday + corniche is a very bad combo lol
Serpico you coming to Lebanon any time soon? You should. Quoting Liliane “wel3aneh” this summer.
well i don’t think there is a law that forbids driving with your feet.. is there 😛 ?
the dude is HOT rami and very cool ! Very ! and he is not doing anything illegal !
no moto.. zouzou/hammoudi 2ibba ?
Posh,
Usually I go back twice a year, but this time I think I’ll have to miss it. I have a booking for August, but most probably I won’t be able to make it :S. I hope my situation changes by then. You staying there for the Summer or going back to the UK?
Traffic jams are very funny. Do not be nasty, but look at the surrounding of clowns and you will be very fun! )
Serpico,
why wouldn’t you make it? Do you have lots of work? I am going to London for a week early July and then off to France and then back to London in September.
Shu! lot of action during my absence 😛

I am “allergic” to such people, including your zouzou 2ibba type of boys 😀
