It's like you have to beg the cashier to take your perfectly minted $50 bill, but he insists you pay in small bills. Then he pretends like his register has no change. Oh yeah, giant supermarket retailer behemoth, like I'm gonna believe you. #lebanon

Supremely enjoyed the Iftar experience at Crowne Plaza Beirut #Beirut! Props to Exec Chef Ihab Sharaf for a dazzling display of classical #Lebanese cuisine. beirutista.co/2024/04/a-crow…

Fresh off the blog press #Beirutista: "7 Types of #Lebanese Parents You’ll Encounter at #School Pickup" ... Can you relate? beirutista.co/2024/05/7-type…

You haven’t really adult-ed if you haven’t flocked to a #coffee shop at least once in the past week, am I right? Personally I love to study the behavior of other patrons and try to deduce their craft. Here are the most common profiles I’ve encountered. beirutista.co/2024/05/6-type…

It's officially autumn in Southern California! Pumpkin spiced anything and everything on full view.

Emergency Donuts: The Sequel Bennett requested a donut emergency, and #MPD delivered! His smile and laughter said it all! Together we are #moorestrong. #ServiceBeforeSelf #donutsdonutsdonuts

Nobody works like the team at ogero. Props to the best Imad Kreidieh for overseeing such a smooth, responsive and efficient operation. Other #Lebanese ministries, take note!

Danielle Issa ogero Imad Kreidieh Totally agree! They’re super responsive and often treat issues as quickly as they can! And that is why I never considered getting my internet from somewhere else.

Fresh on my #blog Beirutista: The Struggle to Remain Relevant. "If you’re like me & launched a blog during the heyday of the blogosphere (back in early 2010s, when Twitter & tweet-ups reigned) you’re prolly feeling like a fish out of water. I know I am." beirutista.co/2025/03/the-st…

End of an era. I don't want to imagine ogero without Imad Kreidieh. I remember what it used to be like, and it wasn't pretty. He shifted Ogero to be customer-centric and responsive to client needs. Now we go back to the stone age.

Here's something I never saw coming: Toys"R"Us is now in #Lebanon, nestled inside at ABC Lebanon Verdun! Read all the deets on my blog #Beirutista: beirutista.co/2025/03/toys-r…

New on the #Beirutista #blog: So you didn’t make it to #Lebanon this summer… It’s not the end of the world. beirutista.co/2025/08/so-you…

Unpopular opinion: skip summer in #Lebanon. Come in the autumn, habibi, when the swell of expats has departed, when airfare is reasonable, and when the weather is mild. Read more of my rambles here: beirutista.co/2025/08/so-you… #Beirut #blogpost

Fresh off the #Beirutista press: what's it like being an American #expat in #Lebanon? Can locals easily weed you out, even if you’re fluent in conversational #Arabic? Is there any advantage to being a diaspora turned local around these parts? #beirut beirutista.co/2025/11/thanks…
