Freestyle slalom

It's the season for... Freestyle Slalom!

.

.

.

Maya appears in full ski outfit and holding ski sticks

.

.

.

Let's do this thing! Maya puts on ski glasses

.

.

.

Our challenge today is to cross the 2 km from home to highway WITHOUT hitting the obstacles

.

.

.

The obstacles: 1- potholes (or "joora" for the experts)

.

.

.

Obstacle 2: fixed potholes! (or "mtabb" for the pros)

.

.

.

.Car shown from top view crossing road full of pothole. Depending on combination of pothole in an area, it is tagged "difficulty level 1 or 2" or even "oops... trap!"

.

.

.Success! (car crosses ribbon)

.


.

.What can I say? Living a video-game-life is such fun!

And here’s how the daily pothole-crossing phenomenon is turned into fun! Any volunteers to turn this into a video or flash game? :P Oh and by the way, I’ve never skied in my life and don’t intend to learn :D Hope you all have a beauuuutiful Monday, and here’s another jazzy song by Lisa Ekdahl whose music has been making my days sweeter. “My Heart Belongs to Daddeh!” Enjoy :)

    Haha nicely done! I must admit that is one thing most ex-pats talk about after leaving Lebanon. Looking back after living in Lebanon for a year I must say not only did it create an arcade style ride every time I got in my car but it also stimulates the tyre industry (I replaced my highly inappropiate low profile tyres no less than 20 times in a 6 month period!). The govt has created a stimulus package and it didn’t even know!! :)

    BTW, There are also some roads in Lebanon that are literally impossible to “successfully” pass – No matter how familiar you are with the road! :)

    Ahhh I miss Lebanon…

    Believe it or not I remember in the 80’s losing a car in a “big” pothole on Mansourieh, and don’t think that it was filled the next day.
