OK, we have lot's of rumor's but few facts. Please post what you know to be true rather that what you heard. Benghazi is a mess, lots killed after an army camp was attacked. The airport in Benghazi is open. Misurata had an event yesterday, pro v ...
Gunshots or fireworks(still cant differentiate) can be heard in Ain Zahra, Tripoli. It's only 7pm but I guess its payback for yesterday's silent rainy night in our area. Read More

Last night, I woke up to gunfire/fireworks (can't differentiate), and mob chanting. We live between Fernas and Souk Jumaah. Good thing roads into our residential area were blocked off by neighbours' cars. Heard today that the airport is closed. ... Read More

Recipe Help by PilotMikeTx
Please help, I returned from Libya with some recipes (or as close as I could get given my Libyan friends didn't know the English translation for many ingredients, and also they all were men and apparently don't cook.) At any rate, at almost every ...
this is like a pop quiz : the answer is Hummus made from chickpeas, olive oil, garlic.. white colour slight bitter taste. Great dip for fried chicken. Rich in B vits. They sell it in cans in the souks,as well, and you just need to add water and ... Read More

If this was a fact that they got more english speakers than the pop of GB itself : China Population (Mainland Only) : 1,331,460,000.000 Great Britain Pop : 61,838,154.000 Still, that only makes about 4.64 % english speaking civilians scattered ... Read More

I think language shouldnt be seen as a barrier and its nonsense to stop anyone for visiting places where English is not the lingua franca. Doesn't stop people from going to China or Japan, and even Libya. I would pick Russia for the sole reason to ... Read More
Adding people you don't know as a contact by vilanelle
Dear All who would like to have me added as a contact, if you don't know me, and we never talked/emailed/contacted in any other way, please DO NOT add me as a contact. Actually, that's what I wrote in my profile, and yet I keep getting new ...
On another note, I think locals fall in love a lil too fast - among themselves and with others.You're making it sound good. In reality, they just have nothing productive or useful on their minds, so they're always eager to act out what they see on ... Read More

I hear you, V. I think it's 60% cultural difference and 40% gender related. On another note, I think locals fall in love a lil too fast - among themselves and with others. Must have gotten that from the Italians.. or Italians got it from the Ls? ... Read More
Shisha smoking by KingOfKludge
Hi, Would really like to sit and smoke some shisha with the QueenOfKludge, but haven't seen too many options around. Don't want to be insensitive to a male environment or anything. Can anybody recommend a place where my good lady wouldn't feel ...
Don't smoke in Al Saraya. I was there with my fellow countrymen and when I asked the waiter to check the charcoal of our shisha, he went, "Tsk,tsk, no madam.. no shisha for you. Big problem...tsk tsk.. Cigarette ok, Shisha no." with his finger ... Read More

Thank You º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Blog!! by veechansa
I accidentally stumbled through other country's expat forums including Germany and Italy forums, and foudn them to be dead and inactive compared to Libya forum. Partly the reason is because most expats who are relocating here don't know much about ...
Try calling the wimax hotline number as on your CELA.C.M setup disk. You will get a Dr. Sameer, a dentist. Wonder how many wimax users he got calling in asking about a different service. (Or could be my setup disc wasn't an updated version). P.S: ... Read More
