Every morning on my way to the office I pass by the Saint Charles commercial center where you can also find the Lebanese Canadian bank, after getting out of the down town and start entering this part of Beirut in front of this building, every morning you have an unbelievable traffic jam because of the cars parked to the left and to the right of this given street and after being on a 5-6 lanes road you need to find your way inside a 1 lane street.

This Lebanese Canadian bank think they have the right to have their own law and rule when it comes to park cars in front of their branch, they even have in front of the bank branch and the opposite side of the road plenty of their own plates saying in Lebanese “private parkings” where basically I guess that this part of the road is for everybody, for every Lebanese citizen who lives in this country have the right to park there because this is owned by no one, except LEBANON. Keeping in mind that when you park cars in this spot, the traffic get worse and worse when entering the streets of Beirut.

But as usual and as it happens every day around here, you can have your own rules and regulations and no one will be asking any kind of question.

Welcome to Lebanon
