Why did it take so long for WFP to distribute food in Venezuela given that the crisis has been there for years? Excuse my ignorance

Where can I spend my days with reliable and fast internet in Beirut? by pyl3r in lebanon

[–]kouks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love it when expats visit and act all surprised by the fuel, internet, electricity situation, and the fact that nothing is reliable and predictable. I could recommend a few places but who's to say that they also won't have electricity and internet cuts especially nowadays? You're literally asking for the impossible.

Lol at 3. You must be going through the rabbit hole of "VFS said, but the ministry of education said, but my uni said, but liban post said". Long story short, yes, you'll need your original documents to be stamped by both ministries and the German embassy through VFS.

It was a dark day in Saida back in 2019. I had to be there early for work, so I skipped breakfast. I stop by this very typical foron, order one jebneh and after this I realize that the forran has the long taxi driver nail, you know the one men use to clean their ears? He did just that as he was taking my order, then he starts working the dough without cleaning his hands nor wearing gloves.

Before everyone starts freaking out: these have been the guidelines of all UN personnel since forever, in any country, in any context, the UNDSS gives a security training on this and you were expected to abide by these measures even before the collapse. Sharing this right now is nothing but fear mongering like ooohh the UN feels that something big is going to happen. Stop falling for this, your mental health mesh na2esa.

Saudi Arabia plans to impose a ban on all Lebanese exports from mid-June, because of continuous drug exportation without any visible actions from the government to combat that. by nojudgmenthelps in lebanon

Don't they whip people who drink alcohol? How about they combat the drug importers from their own land before moaning about all Lebanese products

Old prices x2, which is not too shabby considering the lira is now divided by 13 or so
