"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.”
-Jane Perrone, The Guardian

During the civil war, my aunty reproached a man she knew for renting out what was basically a converted chicken coop to some rich Saudis who had fled the fighting in Beirut to Free Lebanon (Christian Mount Lebanon) for an exorbitant amount. ‘’Do you really think that when they (these Saudis) say ‘all Christians are so-and-sos’’’ he replied ‘’they’re going to say ‘except Y___ C___ (himself)’?’’. Ripping-off Saudis is practically a national sport here.
