Regarding rent- just heard and confirmed that the houses, i.e villas are rented out pretty cheap these days. For example, our house which was off Gargaresh was 3000 Ldinar before and now the landlord cannot find a decent renter for 800 Ldinar. Two ... Read More

What do you mean by evidence?and what evidence do you want to have if you dont want to live here. Yes it is safe here.How do you decide that I do not want to live there? My question is very simple: you said : "Everything will be settled within few ... Read More

Libya is not a dangerous place.. Everything will be settled within few months or year. :)Please enlighten us dear friend, what evidence do you have for this above statement? Aren't you confusing wishful thinking with actual facts of the matter ... Read More

Amanda Please allow me to say that you seem to be romanticizing living in Libya, as some well-meanings Americans often do. And I do not think you have a good understanding of visas, as apparent in your statement:"Right now, USA is not handing out ... Read More

@ FatmaKumru I don't know about Tripoli but in Benghazi there are US drones in the sky. Some people wanting to "take a shot" at America are shooting up into the sky. This makes it rather unsafe for all airlines trying to take off or land given ... Read More

As of today Sunday 16th of september, does anyone know why passenger planes are not allowed to land at Libyan airports? I don't mean to alarm anyone but am concerned as I heard that passenger planes had to return... Read More

My butcher was a very nice guy (and his son?) on Gargaresh. He was part of a grocery store (vegetables and fruits on the front and all other stuff at the back) Their shop was around the mid sections of the Road (right hand side, from the city ... Read More

OK, it seems that the USLCC is as legit as any other Chamber.OK great.. but that does not make them "career foreign service workers" does it? I thought that expression is reserved for the State Department employees, and others on the government ... Read More

Adam Hock - wikiThat ain't no "career foreign service worker" ; that is a NYC, Manhattan night club hopper/bully :-) fk Read More

It amazes me how forums turn from the focus, which is clearly critical information regarding Libya and the international community into 'gossip' and fairly silly commentary. The Chamber of Commerce supports private enterprise,You are right, then it ... Read More

US Chamber has PM'd me and I will check out his affiliations. Will get back with you all next week.GIS Girl is absolutely right. Working for US Chamber of Commerce, does not make one a career foreign service officer; one is private and latter is a ... Read More

Then, "when the flights resume" [not likely to happen anytime soon, cannot give to it serious consideration, sorry!] you should check with the airline. Your bird sounds like a beautiful companion. Being involved with a couple of animal rescues from ... Read More

Assuming that you may be flying with the Turkish Airlines, why don't you call them and check.... The horror stories of pets left behind just a year ago still haunts many of us. Are you sure you want to take the bird with you? fk Read More

What just happened at the airport and is it true now there are no flights? It would be great if someone provides some information. thanks fk Read More

@ Munita Can you please help me understand this? If a conservative (muslim or not) country is a good thing, why -from what- do female citizens need protection? We protect children, we protect old and sick for obvious reasons. In a nice and good ... Read More

Dear Ayshah I don't think it was a good idea for a single European woman with kids to live in Libya before the upraising and, since we are talking about cultural codes, mores and norms, I doubt that it might be a good idea now. I would agree with ... Read More

thank you so much all of you...I liked your spirit more than the information you gave...:-) part of me does not care at all about politics and all; I want to be strolling up and down on Gargaresh.... How about Souk Talad, is it open? Not that I like ... Read More

Hi Alexandra Do you mind telling us a little bit, about electricity, running water, garbage collection and shops? what is it like in Tripoli when it comes to -what we would call municipal- these services? And for my personal interest, how is ... Read More

Thanks Jenni Red Great update, I wish someone had done the same for Tripoli.The journalistic accounts out of Rixos Hotel do not have the same familiar feel your post has. R there any humanitarian services operating in Tripoli too? fk Read More

And I know a lot are suffering in the country... Are you in Tripoli at this moment ?Dear War Reporter I am sure you also know that ALL expats left Tripoli more than 3 months ago. If there is anyone left that would be your breaking story and I would ... Read More

thanks mancunian obviously we are not libyans, so you mean we need to forget our bank account in Tripoli? have you heard anything like freezing the bank accounts of NATO citizens or something like that? I am not talking about millions of LYDs here, ... Read More

more questions: what are the chances of withdrawing previously deposited LYDs a)these days (say from BG) b)sometime later once the conflict is over? In other words what are the chances that Libyan banks would honor previously deposited LYDs? It ... Read More

Hello OB, In fact, the comment has been moderated because we have received some reports in regards to that.but you have also censored my message budding in in support of OB's (however harshly expressed) position (together with the one who was ... Read More

I am not sure how many expats are back here reading this blog anymore.. I feel very sad and sentimental and do not have any friends to really share this: My husband decided that it is time we let go our rented house off Gargaresh. It is the right ... Read More

I did not get to take any mementos from Libya, except my dinars. LOLI also have some green ZEHRA TEA, in addition to my few libyan dinnars. I know you could exchange them at exchange offices in Turkey. However, at this point I do not know. Hold on ... Read More

You cannot exchange unless you are in Libya. We all lost our money, pets and everything else.Our cat ran away two days before the hell broke in Tripoli. We wonder how did he know and which side did he join? If anyone sees a young siemese male with ... Read More

.. but if it is legit (it looks like, at least the phone #), they are obliged to protect your identity, no? I would say go for it (you'd make a great source), but hey I am a big fan of first amendment rights (and I am not in Libya at the moment, ha ... Read More

There is no. 16. It stops right in front of 5th Terminal. It takes a while to gets to the city but don't worry. On it's way to the city center it passes red line underground. Just get off at Bu Slim Stationis this a joke?... "red line ... Read More

I think it is the law of the land here not to use chemicals, hormones and pesticides in agricultural products.Why do you think so?I was told so!... by someone in husbandry business...he was adamant about it?! and then I checked the info with a ... Read More

Frankly, however fancy looking WholeFoods might be, I kind'a prefer the fresh veggies on sale at Tripoli groceries since I think it is the law of the land here not to use chemicals, hormones and pesticides in agricultural products. I also ... Read More

Do NOT use the post office! I mailed a very important business document -it had to have my actual signature!!-- in early October 2010 from Tripoli main post office to NYC; certified mail. It arrived on January 17, 2011!!!. I lost the contract and ... Read More

It started with 600 LD, then down to 400 then up to 800, 1000 and then I think we ended up paying around $500 !!!! At some point we hit $1400: i really don't think there is a set price. J When these amounts were floating around we were not sure if ... Read More

best way for your friend to get to Libya is via any travel agency located in tripoli. They charge an upwardly sliding scale amount of money but quickly obtain a tourist visa once you give them a copy of the passport. As of last summer the People's ... Read More
