When is the last time you didn't have electricity at home? Have you ever noticed how much everything we do or own relies on electricity: phone, computer, fridge, oven, TV, even toothbrush! and many more
But what happens when there is no electricity?
In Lebanon there are frequent power cuts during the day and people live knowing power may be cut. Some have generators to supply power when main power is down. If not or if you cannot afford the fuel for the generator, you have to adapt yourself.
Examples of what could happen to you when the power goes missing:
- finding yourself in the dark while trying clothes in a shop. Go get dressed in the dark!
- not drying your hair after a shower because no electricity for the hair drier.
- finding yourself in a dark huddle room with only the light from the screens from the laptops. And by the way, do your conference calls from a cell phone, otherwise you might get disconnected.
- black out in a night club: no power, no light, no music :(
Like my cousin said, it's every day a surprise or an adventure depending where you are and what you were doing when the power was cut.
Despite all the power cuts, Beirut and Zahle had plenty of Christmas decoration. The illuminations are on when there is power; you are just not sure when.
