Africa & Middle East - April 2007

Why do people like to tell and listen to stories (myths,legends and fables)? Why have these stories been told over and over again throughout the years in all countries all over the world?

I wake up everday @ 5.30 am, start work @ 7.00 am.
My working hours is from 7:00 am to 12.00 pm ONE HOUR LUNCH BREAK then 1.00 PM to 6.00 PM sometimes more (depends on the work load) (sometimes dont take my lunch breat either)

So when i finish work i would be seeing my bed in my eyes, But NOOOo, i go to any restaurant and buy food :D yup JUNK FOOD, after that do my daily excercise and sleep @ 9.00 pm or 10.00 pm Depends.

Anyways how can i improve my eating habits?

Please dont forget my day is practically FULL and there is nothing close to me to buy healhy food.
If you have a QUICK recipe for healthy food i would appreciate it.

What would it take for you to return to Lebanon ? If work was available would you return or would you prefer to stay where you are & visit occasionally ?

BRAIN OF A Lebanese:

This is not a story but a true incident that happened in USA .

A Lebanese man walked into a bank in New York City one day and
asked for the loan officer.

He told the loan officer that he was going to Lebanon on
business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of
security for the loan. The Lebanese man handed over the keys to
a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produced the
title and everything checked out.

The loan officer agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the
Lebanese for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000
loan!

An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parked it
there.

Two weeks later, the Lebanese returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest, which came to $15.41.

The loan officer said, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire.

What puzzles us is, why you would bother to borrow $5,000"

The Lebanese replied: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return'"

PS: I NEED SOME MORE LOLS AND STARS, FEED ME

I was wondering as a local of Dubia (or if you aren't a local but have noticed these things) that tourists and expats have forced locals to band together as a nation (nationalism).
Before, you all went about your own things but now there are 'outsiders' you seem to stick up more for your own locals/community?

my assignment is on tourism media and its impact on nationalism in Dubai.

thanks heaps! :)
if someone could star this? i'm not sure what stars do but i think it makes the question stay up longer? sorry i'm a newbie.
