I'm in Lebanon!


I've been in Lebanon since Monday. All I did so far is seeing my parents and friends, preparing a bit for my brother's wedding on Sunday and some shopping. Not out yet! Somehow I prefer being home.
But am just wondering... Why do Lebanese people speak French with dogs?!

Formula One Bahrain




I went to the Formula 1 race today. It was nice, occupancy seemed to be around 70% which is bad especially with Abu Dhabi GP starting in 2009. The crowd was also calm, a big difference without Schumacher.
We were sitting in the first turn after the Start point, it's a nice open location.
Ferrari with Massa and Raikkonen did an excellent job with first and third position. The new brit rookie did magnificent also by getting the second position in his 3rd F1 race ever. He also stood on the podium in his previous 2 races.

Results:
1. Felipe Massa (Brazil) Ferrari 1:33:27.515
2. Lewis Hamilton (Britain) McLaren +00:02.360
3. Kimi Raikkonen (Finland) Ferrari 00:10.839
4. Nick Heidfeld (Germany) BMW Sauber 00:13.831
5. Fernando Alonso (Spain) McLaren 00:14.426

I was trying to search online for the HSBC Ad for the Gulf area: TRADITIONAL / TRENDY showing Henna and Tattoo.
