"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.”

Our freelance Sri Lankan maid is a bit too free if you ask me. She’ll often not turn up as agreed and when the Hajji will ask her about it the next time she’ll just laugh. I tell the Hajji that she’s too lenient with her and that even the President of the United States has to turn up to his appointments. The Hajji was just telling me how dad had to go looking for her yesterday. My reply to that was that you shouldn’t have to go hunting for your maid unless you’re armed with a rifle and feel like a bit of sport.
