    • 2022-03-29, Sarah Matar, “Lebanon's "Kazdora"...a heavy burden on the pockets”, in Al-Araby Al-Jadeed[1]:
      يسرد هشام كراجي بحسرة كيف اختفت كل مظاهر "الكزدورة" (المشوار) والسهر والاستمتاع بعطلة نهاية الأسبوع، ويقول لـ"العربي الجديد": "بالكاد نستطيع اليوم تأمين الطعام والشراب وأقساط المدارس. أركن سيارتي منذ فترة طويلة ولا أستخدمها إطلاقاً بسبب غلاء سعر الوقود".
      Hisham Karaji recounts with regret how all aspects of the "kazdoura" (the walk), staying up late and enjoying the weekend have disappeared. He told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed: "Today we can hardly secure food, drink and school fees. I've been parking my car for a long time and I don't use it at all because of the high price of fuel." .
