  • RoadTripHacks – Helping you discover hidden gems in Lebanon

    34-DSC04528

    A couple friends of mine recently started a cool blog that I really recommend you start reading if you’re into discovering new places in Lebanon and enjoying its nature.

    The blog is called RoadTripHacks, and with every post, Rony and Sonia either introduce you to hidden gems around Lebanese regions that you maybe never thought of visiting (like Baakline and Ammiq), or make you see some regular places like Saoufar from a totally different perspective through the awesome photo sets accompanying each post. All while taking the time to tell you how to reach your destination and providing recommendations on eateries and must check places.

    So next time you plan a roadtrip in Lebanon, make sure you check their blog for some ideas. And you can also stalk them on Facebook and twitter.

    This is also an opportunity to let you know that Rony has already started contributing to the blog here and will be occasionally writing.

  • Laptop theft in Dora caught on CCTV

    According to tayyar.org, this took place near Almaza brewery.

  • How low can Al-Jadeed TV get?

    So Bahaa El Dine Hariri got married to a Saudi lady last week, and as expected, many TV stations had to report the news which was quite normal.

    However, when it came to Al Jadeed, they introduced Bahaa El Dine in the most unprofessional way. While the man is a known billionaire and owns a property development and investment group, Al Jadeed decided that he’s instead known for a silly statement he made during his most vulnerable moment, the funeral of his assassinated father!

    I totally understand the TV station might be in disagreement with the Hariri’s, but that was quite low of them…
