Not Happy Jan

Yeah so i was wondering how long it would take for the lebanese to fully live up to the sterotype they have in australia.
4 months.
I've been here 4 months and have had the usual whistling and rude comments from the lebanese males but last night they exceeded all expectations when one indecently assulted me in the lift of my own building. I was on my way home from a boozy night at the pub and i wasn't seriously hurt or anything but i was very shaken up by the experience. Not one that i wish to ever have again.

I love Skandars

I love Skandars so much. I got pissed and noticed the staff had new uniforms, ok so i noticed the uniforms then i got pissed but the point is i asked them if i could have one and they gave me two and they let me go behind the bar and crack some beers which i handed out with half their lids still on i was so plastered.
I love Skandars.
Note to everyone: If your ever in Tyr, Lebanon go to Skandars it is just a pub but its also more than just a pub.

The weather's getting warmer!!!

Here's me jet skiing over the weekend. We all went down to a place called captain bobs and drank beer and jet skiied all arvo. Not a bad way to spend a saturday. The water was fricking freezing but this jet ski in the pic is awesome it goes so bloody fast. I wasn't thrown off but there were several moments where i thought i might go...and poor neil prob has scratch marks all over him i was holding on so tight. I had a go at driving one of the jet ski's and having never driven one before it was quiet interesting and I threw my friend steve off twice, by accident, so i'm going to need some more practice. But it was good clean fun.

Shopping

Grocery shopping is the perfect place to meet mr right so its essential you wear the right shoes and make your hair look nice.

My New Hat

This is my totally awesome new hat that the owner of my favourite (and practically only) pub bought for me.

Syria - Damascus

I went to Syria over the easter weekend and so here's a couple of pics of what Syria looks like. Pretty interesting hey.
It is the middle east after all.



A pic of part of the mosque taken from the souk.




A pic of the souk. The souk is huge and has lots of little side streets but i found they all sold the same stuff. I mean if you have a linen fetish you'd be in heaven. I swear every second shop was a linen shop but it was nice to see the place for myself as everyone who goes to damascus comments on the souk. And its another country in my passport!

Lebanon life

Alexander had his 5th birthday last week and would you believe this is the lebanese idea of balloon decorations.

ok my dirty mind helped out a bit but as if you weren't thinking the same thing.
