If you find the combination of Sushi and Arguileh to be appealing, then Republic in Zalka is probably the place for you.
I went there few days ago and was surprised to see that they have recently added a sushi section to their menu, meaning you can now enjoy having your sushi while puffing smoke rings! 😛
On a serious note, I’m not an Arguileh expert but my friends claim Republic has the best Arguileh in town.
Now that’s a fun way to raise awareness! 😀
Young activist from the Brand Protection Group gathered on March 15th, which is the Anti-Counterfeit Day, in City Mall Beirut to create awareness about imitated-fake products and brands, which can be harmful and dangerous to Lebanese consumers.
They started imitating random shoppers, which created lots of buzz in the mall. Many people even approached the imitators for interaction and to challenge them!
An anonymous reader sent me these 2 videos showing members of the Lebanese internal security forces breaking into a BMW and driving it away to probably clear the street for a convoy or something…
Knowing that the authorities collect the phone number of all car owners in Lebanon, couldn’t they have looked up the owner’s phone number through his plate number and told him to just come and park it somewhere else? Or why not using a car carrier to move it away instead of breaking into it?
Also, notice how easy it is to steal a car, the whole thing doesn’t take more than a couple of minutes!
Don’t you just love March for the lingerie shows it brings every year?
Yesterday was K-Lynn’s turn to show the best of their designs at Rikky’s in Faqra. A friend of mine got these photos from Facebook and was good enough to share them with me. Thanks S! (Images courtesy of photographer Gilbert Kahawaty)

Two friends of mine just shared this video on Facebook! Looks like some of Beirut airport staff performed on March 5th 2011 a dabke dance inside the airport premises to the rythm of a Houwwara song, and it turned out pretty cool!
I have no idea why did they do it, but I loved how people of all ages were participating, kudos!
Update:
Here’s another video, shot on March 4th, of a rehearsal for the dance. According to Biba from +961’s page on Facebook, the dance was done for an ad for Beirut Duty Free.
… also known as the Ski and Fashion Festival.
More about the event on Beirut Night Life website.
Why in Dahieh specifically? Why not “The best pizza in Lebanon” instead?
And why don’t we see similar billboards in other places like Jounieh or Tripoli for example?
