Looks like Middle East Airlines resumed all their flights as of last night after the pilots ended their 5 days strike.
Captain Fadi Khalil, head of the pilots’ union, announced the strike had ended at midnight on Saturday. Normal scheduling resumed on Sunday.
“Out of concern for our company and Lebanon’s tourism sector, and out of respect for our passengers, we announce the suspension of our strike,” Khalil said at a news conference, adding that the strike was “in principle over.” Source.
It’s irritating how problems are being handled over the last few days. The Lebanese Pilots Association initially had a problem with the MEA management over firing a pilot diagnosed with cancer, and next thing we knew is flights are all suspended via MEA.
Two days ago, some problem/dispute (whatever it is) happened at the Zahrani power plant, and the employees ended up halting all power generation!
And who gets caught in the middle of everything? Us.

Burger Bar is a relatively new burger joint located in Sodeco, across the street from Classic Burger Joint. Before getting to how good their burgers are, it’s worth mentioning that The Burger Bar logo is nothing but a copy of the one Johnny Rockets’ has.
So I’ve tried their Mushroom Swiss Burger a while ago, and unfortunately it turned out delivering almost nothing new or special, and I said almost because the bun was fresh and tasty. The patty on the other hand was quite average, while the sauce had too much mayo in it. It isn’t like you’ll hate it, but there’s definitely much improvement that can be done.
For the time being, CBJ seems like a better option if you’re craving a burger in the area. Though I personally would prefer going all the way to Hamra for Burger Nation!

Selling at 2,995L.L (~$2) that’s probably the cheapest bottle of wine you’ll ever find in Lebanon no?!
Seen at Fahd Supermarket Furn El-Shebbak.
Passing by Dbayeh you can’t but notice the expansion work underway at ABC. Below is a sneak peek of how the mall will look like once all is done, and you can check here for more photos.
Looks sexy to me!

You can’t be a true Beiruti if you haven’t had a fruit cocktail at least once from Al-Salam Juice in Tarik El-Jadida.
Most of their cocktails can easily replace a meal since they’re very filling, with the most popular being the “Katyusha” that comes with Avocado juice and Kashta (heavy cream) loaded with lot of fruits on top.
Totally recommended, but good luck finding a parking spot around the place since it’s a very crowded area.
This madness doesn’t seem like ending anytime soon, now we’re all set to break the Guinness record for the world’s longest bar. The event is happening on the 31st of August in Jounieh’s Old Souk, and tickets will be sold for 30$ including 2 drinks in all Jounieh pubs starting Thursday.
Check here for more details.
I saw these ice pops at a small store that sells american goods near TSC Jnah, so I decided to buy some since I used to love them when I was a kid.
I can’t say this was the best way to remember my childhood since they tasted like a cough medicine! They even beat Bonjus with the artificial flavors.
Were they really that bad back in the 90′s?
If you’re like me waiting for Fuddruckers to finally open its doors in Dbayeh, then the wait is almost over. I just saw their latest announcements on facebook claiming the grand opening is going to take place on August 26th!
Too bad for me it’s going to be Ramadan and I usually avoid heavy meals on Iftar, so I won’t be trying it out until Eid comes.
I was watching MTV Lebanon last night and saw and advertisement by some female basket ball player for some silicone wristband called ”Power Balance” claiming it improves balance and strength, all for $8!
A quick search on Google will be enough to let you know it is just another scam! Bravo MTV.
In our advertising we stated that Power Balance wristbands improved your strength, balance and flexibility.
