Back To Dubai

We’ve made it back to Dubai from Beirut… with half of our nails left in the floors of Rafik Al Hariri’s Airport!!

I can’t really blog about the Beirut trip, since however long I’d write, I would never be able to describe all the feelings and all experiences I encountered there.

But the followings are the highlights…

1. Inside Rafik Al Hariri Airport: Damn, everyone working is an Arab, from the Passport Control officers, to the luggage helpers, to the bathroom cleaners!
2. Outside Rafik Al Hariri Airport: Damn, everyone drives like crazy! The rule to drive is to drive without rules!!
3. The Suicide Rock (Rock of Rawshe) and the best “Turoms” I’ve eaten in a very very long time. Even if it was too hot and burnt my tongue!
4. The site where Rafik Al Hariri was blown: Sad!
5. I'm a millionaire.... in Lira's (Lebanese Pounds)! Hiba & I put our heads together to figure how to convert currencies!! It's easy... remove the last 3 zero's and times it by 3!!!
6. Baalbak: Men can’t lead so take control. Best touristic pictures since I was a kid. And Hizb Allah t-shirt! Go Nasr Allah!!
7. Giita Caves: What was that all about? Could anything be more boring?
8. Awtar Restaurant: Oh My God! Cinderella leaves the party at midnight....running!
9. Solidere (Downtown): I could live here!!! I just need a rich husband to pay the bills!
10. What happened to the lovely friendly (and sometimes over friendly) Lebanese people? Or Did they all move to work in Dubai leaving the bitchy and mean back in Beirut?
11. You Party Animal You! Pyjama Slumber Party in the Metropolitan Palace!
12. ABC or Abbassiya?!! Why can’t they just stick to one language!
13. Verdun: Thank God the visit was not longer, or I would be in deep financial s***!
14. Only 6 of them in 3 days!!!
15. Rafik Al Hariri Airport: We Don’t Want To Leave!! Please Keep Us!!! Maybe they would have kept us if we were not so hyper and loud! Damn!
16. Dubai Airport - Bus Terminal: Monkey on the loose, Jassem swinging happily!
17. Back to work! I need a Vacation!
