    “How Hezbollah thugs will find new jobs, if they are out of Iran’s Khamenei payroll? Hezbollah are professional thugs, it will be hard for them to go back to Lebanon and Syria and sit waiting for old age to come, and remembering how was good to explode, beat and kill innocent defenseless people.”

    Mano I’m talking abt the places in dxb; as for Lebanon I’m no longer up-to-date but there’s a restaurant that’ll never miss everytime I go to Lebanon it’s called é café in the old souk of jbeil (Byblos).

    As for dxb I never miss the brunch at the jumeirah hotel on Fridays the restaurant that is by the seaside then for a sunset apero above it at the 360.

    Le kif total!
