Like most people I gave up on public transportation years ago, looks like it's rate of decline has slowed since my last trip.

I used to use the Greyhound bus system to save money when I just moved to Canada in 1979 to travel around. Makes one really think as I know that bus route very well.

And I see that Suzan Tamim, that Lebanese popstar, got the same treatment.

If I believe the Lebanese expat community here in Holland, some good friends told me she was into setting up drug dealing deals and money laundering mega style. Apparently she had a life style that would have made Madonna blush. Don't kill the messenger, just stating what was told to me.

People lose their heads over the most trivial things these days :D.

There are psycho's everywhere...in every country. In the UAE we have people chopped up and put in suitcases then left in the desert.

We have singers mutilated in apartments and we have at least one person dying every single day on shk zayed road due to what I consider the bigger threat - arrogant and ignorant drivers who do not regard human life.

I know, but it makes you think as I drove that same bus route hundreds of times.

Well if I believe my Lebanese friends tell me, Lebanon is becoming the world's white wash center for drug money.
