Mr. Bo9agr has pictures of a fire that happened in Hawalli. I can’t read the Arabic but the building looks like the one I park in front of when I go to get my computer stuff. Its near Walla’a Complex. [Link]

That is the building by Wala complex!
cool, i recognized it from the curved balcony
Holy crap!! I hope nothing happened to Wala’a complex!!!!
Loose translation
“A fire broke out in one of the abandoned buildings in the area around behind Ibn Khaldoun Street. No one was injured but some minor damage to property. The building had been abandoned and will be demolished later as part of a expansion project. The inhabitants of the surrounding buildings were watching the fire and firefighters; and the building collapsing.”
Mashallah, that’s a good translation. How about you switch jobs with me?
he probably cheated and used the google translator lol
thanks god not Walla’a then kuwait will be 10 years behind
Mark you can’t read arabic, WTF???
then “Lebanese couple” stand for what?
i read arabic but pretty badly.
Lebanon is not an Arab country so we don’t have to speak arabic..
is lebanon european then? if not arab then what region does it fall under?
Translating from english to arabic is much easier than arabic to english. And I have been converting arabic stuff to english for the past couple of years .. but yeah, google translate helps.
Anon just because a country speaks arabic doesnt make them arabs. Lebanon is Pheonician
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenicia
Hah, I lost count of how many times people nag about Mark not knowing Arabic.
my arabic has improved a lot the past few years. i just dont bother to improve my reading. would rather just read somehting in english.. quicker
sorry but this is kinda hilarious to me. i wish fucking wala complex would burn to the ground so they can build a new one or relocate to a more sane area. the whole of hawalli is an absolute shithole.
Mark that makes Palestine Jewish then
I expect you speak phoenician?
Read some history please :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghassanids
yeah lebbos are pretty much ay-rab. sorry mark.
Lebanon is not arab! LOL….The Arab conquest expanded from the gulf till spain, then retreated to Morroco, i agree just if a country speaks the language does not make it part of its heritage, like mexico and spain, but lebanon is arab and you should be proud of that…
Greeenwhite what makes Lebanon an Arab country?
its a member of what you call “THE ARAB LEAGUE”
that was a political decision, doesn’t mean much
lebanon is a foudning member!!!! we can argue forever mark, it wont change anythin. Lebanon has an amazin history of arab figures, Like they say “arguing on the internet is like like running in the Special Olympics Even if you win, you’re still retarded.” LOL
“Lebanon is not arabic country”
lol i love that :), good one Mark
