Has anyone noticed the hand dryers in the City Mall bathrooms? They have Dyson AirBlade’s installed which are incredibly powerful and very fun to use. Next time you pass by City Mall you have to try them out. [YouTube]
BloggingBeirut posted a video up of a truck drive in Mansouria that broke a few laws on his way to a construction site and then got away with it. Even the two cops in the video didn’t do anything about it! [YouTube]
Someone uploaded a family video shot with an 8mm camera back in the early 70s. I love the scene with the old man, the whole video actually isn’t that bad or maybe I’m just a sucker for vintage videos and pictures… [YouTube]
Let’s just hope that this wasn’t a political stunt and that some things will be done to make the process of dealing with the authorities in Lebanon “corruption-free”. [YouTube]
I heard about this reality show called Young Imam this morning on BBC and thought it was extremely creative. Young Imam is a popular reality TV show in Malaysia where the winner of the show wins a car, some cash, a full scholarship to study in Saudi Arabia, gets to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca and also gets to be an Imam of a mosque. It’s such a smart idea and it seems to be working really well in attracting younger people back into religion. I found a good article about the show on the Wall Street Journal which is where I got the video above from. You can check out the article by clicking [Here]
Now I was thinking… Wouldn’t it be cool if we had a Lebanese version of this show called Young Nuns? LBC are you listening? EVERYONE would watch it!
Most of you have probably heard about Dinner in the Sky if not click [Here]. The same guy who has the Ferrari 599 GTO below also had dinner in the sky and uploaded those videos to his YouTube account. The one above is the best of the bunch. Looks pretty cool. [YouTube]
Now if you want to be nosy like me you can check out all the guys videos by following this [Link]. He has a ton of cool videos mostly of some of the coolest rides in Lebanon. I would have love to have been on this outing.. [Link]
I usually expect cars like this to end up in Dubai or Kuwait first and they somehow end up in Lebanon. Checking the guys video uploads it seems he’s got a nice collection of cars. [YouTube]
Driving in Lebanon can turn any calm & cool person insane! I am usually cool while driving but Lebanese drivers are becoming unbearable and the traffic lights are even making things worse, whereas you have to double check every time you pass a green light!
To illustrate what i am talking about, i thought of filming every time i am trying to pass a traffic light, mainly in Hamra where people drive like crazy. Of course i fix my camera on the steering wheel so i stay focused :-)
One minor issue in uploading videos is that it takes forever with the impressively turtle-slow connections we have here. It took me 30 minutes to upload a 6MB video (17 seconds). [YouTube]
