"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

Towards the end of my “sleepwalk” to Jounieh, some hobo I hadn’t noticed sleeping in a doorway frightened the life out of me. He started shouting “get away from here, get away from here!” Which I could have sworn I’d already done without his prompting – having been about twenty meters past him when he started screaming it. That’s why I looked around to see if he was “talking to me” and I ascertained that he must have been because “I’m the only one here”.Maybe he thought I was competition muscling in on his territory – with my beard, tracksuit and old but comfortable peashooter jacket I must look like a hobo.
