Around My World in 80 Months

Majida and Lebanon

80Months — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:58:25 +0000

I cannot get tired of listening to Tallou Hbabna “Our beloved got here”. Wether Majida sings it or Zaki Nassif (original), it’s got the same rousing effect on me.

Tallou Hbabna will be part of Lebanese week at INSEAD!

Marisa Monte and Burgundy

80Months — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:53:10 +0000

Burgundy’s wines turned out to be exquisite, but after tasting 35 types of wine, you cannot keep on telling which is better!

Brazilian Monte was another personal discovery from the trip…

Not a huge fan of Audi

But a huge fan of Inventiveness

Progress is Beautiful by Audi

Santa Barbara

: Ma3kroun: Before

Deep Fried then Sweetened Deeply:

: Ma3kroun: After

The december festivities started with Santa Barbara’s day yesterday. Meals were made solely of Sweets (2ame7, 2tayif and ma3kroun). I doubt that the late night swimming and dancing compensated for all that sugar!

Fiesta: The best ending

Also at the border with Panama, the starfruit was a delicious discovery.

TOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD

Flounder, Crab, Lobster, Jumbo Shrimp, Oysters, Prawn… and all for a few dozens of dollars! Where else can you have that?

I gift this plate to a dear friend who has yet to accept my invitation to a nice homemade siyadiyye lunch (type of fish)… :p

265 feet of adrenaline stimulation

80Months — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:53:05 +0000

The view from the bridge was breathtaking but the countdown hit 0 and I had to go forward with the jump. The rush of everything was surreal.

Jumping from the Colorado River bridge at 265 ft high in Naranjo

Thought about a second jump but at just 3.8 seconds to get to the river and 3 minutes to get back up we decided to leave it for some other time.

A last tune for the night

80Months — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 00:20:23 +0000

And you’re singing the song, thinking this is the life and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size…

This should be played at clubs’ closing times >:)

Hegemony of the White over the Blue

80Months — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 11:51:04 +0000

Why is the white eating and the rest watching?

Thrive to be the white!

Back to the 80months with an apetizer

80Months — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 10:16:58 +0000

Been busy, very busy. It’s been fun, lots of fun with more to come. But now am back.

Memorable Plantain Fiesta at the Panama Border

The table was unanimous: That was the best sea food lunch anyone had had in Central America so far. The place was full of Ticos watching their national team playing football.

As for the apetizer, the fish and guacamole ones are the best.

Its house is too small

80Months — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 07:19:14 +0000

This guy felt that his house wasn’t big enough for him anymore.

He got out, abandoned his shell and started looking for a shell that’s worth his while

The world is too small too… To my Good friend I say: It is not easy to be frank, but postponing honesty can’t do anygood to anyone!
