If I were Zaven I would have probably already committed suicide for all the “chou hasseit” jokes that have been made so far!

Roadster Diner Opening Soon in Zaitunay Bay
I just stumbled upon this photo by Roadster diner on Facebook announcing that they’re opening soon in Zaitunay Bay.
With Classic Burger Joint and some coffee shops already operating there, I believe it’s pretty good to see Roadster opening as well which helps making Zaitunay Bay more accessible to average people, especially that it was labeled as a spot for the rich people when it was first launched.
Update:
As per Beirutista, P.F. Chang’s is also coming to Zaitunay Bay.

Where else other than Lebanon do you get to see some guy pulling a stunt on a busy intersection and saluting a police officer?

Bernard Hage Predictions for 2015
Bernard’s predictions are becoming a yearly traditions and the guy is in my opinion funnier than most of the people you see on comedy shows nowadays.
Make sure to check his blog here. (I wish he posts more often) -
The 2015 New Year Fireworks Show in Dubai
I wish this was about some cool fireworks show in Beirut, but it was the same boring scene here with stupid people firing rounds of bullets at midnight.
On the other hand, Dubai dazzled the world once more with amazing fireworks that lit up Burj Khalifa. And while they’re at it, they broke a Guinness world record by covering the tower with the largest LED display consisting of 70,000 LED bulbs.
You can also watch a behind the scenes video here on how EMAAR made it all happen. -

The Internal Security Forces rewarding seat-belt users
The minute I saw this photos on twitter I knew it was some kind of a media stunt by the Lebanese Internal Security Forces. And the first thing that came to my mind was that they should have been working to ease the traffic congestion over the past few days instead of taking photos with Santa. But now that I saw the video I think it was a nice move.
In a country where people honk at you at a red light, I personally would have loved to get rewarded by the ISF for wearing the seatbelt!

Beirut airport has food products that expired 20 years ago!
Can you imagine how does a food item that has expired in 1995 look like now?! I’m seriously interested to know!
“The minute you walk into the warehouses, you feel like you entered a dump,” Abu Faour said after inspecting the airport along with Transport Minister Ghazi Zeaiter.
The health minister revealed that some of food products still in storage had expired nearly 20 years ago.
“Dates on some foods showed they had expired in 1995,” he said.
