Maybe I like them so much because we had something like this when I was little and my siblings and I used it as a table. I wonder how long this one will go unclaimed.

About Me
Everybody's looking for something. Mary Ann is looking for the real Beirut, whatever that means. These are the photos she takes along the way.
You can browse around the archives here or check out her other blogs. There's one from a few years ago, back when she blogged about art. And then there's another from '09 when she lived in St. Louis (USA).

I like it, a bit like the land of giants.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind that I referred to you as an American "who very much enjoys taking photos in Beirut."
ReplyDeleteAnd they make "kaablaat" out of "cables"? Interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've seen them used as tables, too, many times. I would like to have one inscribed like this one.
Martina, you read Arabic? What other hidden talents do you have?
ReplyDeleteMustapha, I don't mind at all. And I'm nowhere near finished with Beirut. There's so much I haven't attempted yet.
:-D
ReplyDeleteI find it very interesting how languages adopt vocabulary, what genus a language attaches to a foreign word etc. cable could be silk, too, سِلْك - but perhaps this is old fashioned ... ? Don't know. So much for my hidden talents, grin.
I'd love to claim it.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I salvaged a small one from the local cable TV company. Just the right size to put my router on.
