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.

  3. Damon Dash says:

  4. MiYaFuSHi says:

    That was racist.

    Is the hummer any worse than your retro trainers?

  5. crooger says:

    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.

  8. Moey says:

    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

    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.

    amazing how touchy people can get when the tables are turned and stereotypical comments are made against them:D hehe ..take it easy guys! nothing racist about the comment mark made..! try to develop a thick skin like the rest who more often have to hear/bear stereotypical comments/judgements against them by the majority.

    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 says:

    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 says:

    Maybe you should hitch a ride from the saudi, eh?

  17. zaydoun says:

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

  18. “I managed to find an economy seat on a flight that comes back to Kuwait at like 3AM, i didn’t even know there was a flight like that!”
    you know Mark, time have changed and there is what do they call “Red Eye” flight which i believe you already know what does it means, enjoy your time ;)
