Almaza is as usual keeping up with Lebanon’s heated discussions, but I have mixed feelings about this poster.

The Snow in Faraya Today
The cold weather that we are experiencing this weekend is bringing much needed snow to our mountains and Faraya seems to have got a good amount so far.
The cold front is supposed to last over the next week I think and more snow is expected, so the slopes may probably open in the next couple of weekends.
Below is a photo showing how the slopes in Faraya looked like on the same day of the previous year (January 3rd 2014), so 2015 looks definitely promising.

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?

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!
