Beirut in the summer
Its just too crowded, I hate it. There is a guy in my hotel that has the ugliest Hummer H3 I have ever seen, the car has Saudi license plates so you could already imagine what I am talking about. I am going to try and take pictures of it tomorrow.

That was racist.
Is the hummer any worse than your retro trainers?

I Agree with Miyafushi.. that was extremely racist! So what if the car had saudi plates on it?? Have you seen what lebanese barbers do to their cars in kuwait?? they seem to think everything comes in “M” power… even range rovers.

let me see… bling bling and red?

LOL! Love how people get so up-tight about so called “racist” comments… ok, so maybe it is a generalisation, but certainly not “racist”.
Lets see some pics Mark :o)
P.S. Gotta agree on the trainers thing LOL!!

My comments were not racist. Saudis have a certain style when it comes to customizing cars the way I have a certain style in sneakers:
Exhibit A
http://www.248am.com/mark/automotive/hummer-bentley/
Exhibit B
http://www.248am.com/mark/automotive/pimped-out-accord/
So when I said it has Saudi license plates it was to put you in a mind set of what kind of customization the car involved.
Thats not being racist so stop twisting my words.

Peaceout!

Racism? Try again! Its a FACT and everyone is aware that Saudi’s have a tendancy to mess up cars with their ‘taste” or lack there of. Some things are better left the way they were… If Bentley wanted a car to be painted/adorned with plaid, they would have put it out like that…
And if Mercedes thought hot pink with diamonds were a potential top seller, they would have thought of that too.

I can’t believe you even found seats on an airplane to come here…
15. Mark | August 20th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Coming to Beirut wasnt a problem, found business class even. Returning to Kuwait is a huge problem. Flights are closed, over booked but I managed to find an economy seat on a flight that comes back to kuwait at like 3AM, i didnt even know there was a flight like that!
16. Random Dude | August 20th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Maybe you should hitch a ride from the saudi, eh?
17. Mark | August 20th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
lol

Beirut is unbearable in August… Much better in June-July
