Because of yesterday’s incident, the Beirut inspection center located in Hadath is closed now until further notice. [Link]

The thing that’s puzzling about this incident is that the car owner is paying someone 50$ to let his defective car pass the test.

Isn’t it a better and safer investment to go fix the car? Who is he trying to cheat here?

Do you see what I see?

Why did the fight erupt?

Because some guy’s car did not pass inspection even though “the broker, identified as Mohammad Ali Khatoun, had asked clerks at the center to “allow” the car of Habib Jaafar to pass inspection.” [DailyStar]

This is what happens when someone does his job properly in Lebanon.

What’s with the Hitler mustache and Nazi salute?

PS: Sorry for the bad picture, but that’s the only one I could take.

Lebanon World Supermodel- Danielle Salamouny and Pacific Islands Miss Teen Supermodel- Mickaela Swamy were crowned the winners of this year’s Miss Teen Supermodel and World Supermodel Pageant at the Amanuca Island Resort yesterday. [Link]

This is the first time a Lebanese woman wins an international beauty contest ever since Georgina Rizk. Read more about it [here].

Dear valuable customer, as part of our commitment to provide you with the best internet connection at competitive prices, we are glad to inform you that starting November 1st, the price of the 512 kbps / 3GB wireless plan will become $27 instead of $45. Also a new 1 Mb / 6GB plan will be introduced on December 1st 2011.

Just read this announcement on Wise’s website. I thought MOT imposed October 1st as the deadline for new speeds. What’s with the two months delay?

The cap as pointed out by Mark earlier yesterday is ridiculous.

Mansourieh residents are peacefully demonstrating against the installation of high-tension electricity grids in their region and the “Panthers” unit is sent to disperse them??

There are families, women and children in this protest. Why the hell would anyone send ISF’s elite unit against them?

Is it so hard to pass the cables underground and relieve the people from dangerous high-tension grids over their heads?

This is beyond ridiculous. Funny part is that two Syrian tanks bombed a target inside the Lebanese soil and not a single Lebanese soldier was dispatched.

Pink Floyd is unfortunately not coming to town. The wall I posted about two days ago is being taken down and was used during the Lebanese Forces’ last martyrs mass in Fouad Chehab Stadium.

Speaking of martyrs, here’s a link to the picture of Bashir Gemayel that featured in Roger Waters’ tour earlier this year.

Two pretty girls had stepped out of their car and walked seductively with their indecent dresses between the cars to cross over to the other side,” the Kuwait Arabic language daily Alwatan said on Monday.[Link]

The weird thing is that there are no pictures of that incident anywhere on the internet. I feel like it’s a made-up story.

This incident reminded me of the time Samantha Fox had a concert in Lebanon and was taken out by the ISF for being half naked on stage. It was maybe the first time Lebanese are exposed to such a thing.

IDM have updated their website with the new internet speeds and prices. Sure the slowest speed is now 1 Mbps but what’s the use when your total allotted bandwidth is just 5GB a month. Oh and that measly 5GB bandwidth which is already ridiculously small is actually the combined bandwidth of both your download and upload! Talk about useless internet. [Link]

Thanks Omar

This was broadcasted on MTV last night. It’s appalling… [YouTube]

Thanks Omar

After CNN mistakenly confused Lebanon’s Tripoli with Libya’s few weeks back, it’s time for Gulf news to do the same.

We organize Jeep Safari in Lebanon, heading to four extraordinary destinations: Chouf Mountains, North Area, Byblos District, and Kfardebian – Sannine Region. This is the chance for people who would like to discover real Lebanon (The land that is called “Heaven on Earth”). Doing that in a jeep safari adds adventure and fun to such excursions.

I found out about Safari Lebanon by mistake when I spotted one of their Jeeps on the highway. The pictures are amazing and the tours look pretty exciting but I am not sure how wild they are.

You can read more about Safari Lebanon [here].

I was teaching my brother how to drive at the Fouad Chehab stadium when I spotted workers building a huge wall inside the parking lot.

The first thought that came to my mind was Pink Floyd coming to town and I started thinking how awesome it would be, but quickly snapped back to reality.

Anyone has a clue what’s that wall for?
