  • Lebanonizing the sushi experience

    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.

  • Freeze Christmas! I will shoot you!

    I was on my way back home from Antelias last night when I decided to take photos of the Christmas decorations I encounter on the road, so I got you these photos while passing by Zalka, Bourj Hammoud, and Downtown Beirut.

    On my to-shoot list, I still have Jdeideh street, the Ice creche at ABC, the other decorations at downtown and whatever I may encounter in the coming days!

  • Nahr El-Mot interchange

    I received the below images by e-mail today showing how Nahr El-Mot interchange should look like in I dunno how many years from now. If the contracting companies will continue working at the same rate, that is 1 bridge per 3 years, then my son will probably be able to go through Nahr El-Mot without getting stuck in the traffic jam!

    You can click on the images to enlarge them.
