- 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." .
