Food in Libya 101--a bit of a ramble by MoEl

I should tell you that I've seen awful things done to food before serving it in restaurants, including some that were branded as fine dining establishments and insisted on employing flamboyantly gay hosts for reasons I fail to postulate, except to ...

What do you do on Fridays? by Palachakh

Obtaining a driving licence in Tripoli by Palachakh

It may sound crazy, but still: Does anyone know of a school where I could learn driving (in English) and subsequently obtain a driving license (preferably international)? Is it possible at all? Has anybody tried it?

Canadianturkey

Palachakh, Unfortunately I think it is a bit naive to assume that people will disregard that you have run into their car and that you will not have to deal with insurance companies. Being foreign and being a woman are two strikes against you when ... Read More
