Customizable Roads in Lebanon

You know how much I love driving in this "country."

This post is about how lovely it is, that you can design your own roads in Lebanon. Along with all the tables, chairs, cement blocks, metallic rails protecting their highnesses, blocked roads, scenes of fighting, cars parked on pavements, cart sellers, etc, there's a new road trend now!

If it bothers you that a road bump could slow you down by 2-3 seconds, you could just remove it!

Phones Smuggled to Lebanon

An article is going viral on Facebook about how the Ministry of Economy & Trade and the Ministry of Telecommunication & Post are planning on stifling the illegal smuggling of mobile phones to Lebanon.

Basically, starting June, any mobile phone that connects to the networks, whose serial number is not registered in their DB will not be allowed to connect to this network. As said, the measure targets the illegal smuggling of cell phones through non-official channels. 

I can see people outraged on Facebook (and even by e-mail). I cannot see why!

Windows Phone Store (Lebanon and beyond...)

With Nokia Lebanon finally launching the Windows Phone 8 line in Lebanon, I think this post is appropriate.

When I first bought my Lumia 920 (from Saudi!), I had a heart attack. I was downloading the basic apps but I couldn't find Foursquare, and I KNOW that Foursquare was there. After pounding the Store and whatnot, I realized that I was searching in the Lebanon Store and it had almost no apps in it. Well it did have apps, but those trash items are not worthy of the title. 

BUT, worry not, there's hope!

Time Out Beirut Nightlife Awards - 2012

So the very nice people at Time Out Beirut decided to send me an invite to their Nightlife Awards of 2012. Basically, of many many candidates, the finest of the restos, pubs and clubs and everything to do with nightlife were selected and awarded based on the people's votes (20,000 online votes) and a set of critic's choice.

SGBL ATMs

You have to give credit where credit is worth!!!

SGBL have finally updated their ATMs' software to give you the option of NOT printing receipts.

Trees and Sukleen garbage collectors have been reported to sleep better since!!!

What's Calling?

Warning, this post is not what you think. Being a geek, this post is about my little talking friend, the mobile phone, which as with everyone is an inseparable limb nowadays. So you will find below, a list of all the mobile phones that I have owned and used in my life!

SGBL ATMs

You guys all know how much I love SGBL and I know I'm repeating myself... 

But here's the end result that you will get when your ATMs do not have the option of NOT getting a receipt (and does not have a bin close by!)
