i forgot... Berlin is not too far from Italy... surely less far from Lebanon...

 

so

 

see you soon in Berlin the 28th

Great idea!

See you there, then

(and hey! Lebanon is not far at all... I live in the same time zone. But we have white nights )

Hello! I can't see Dana's pictures

Can you?

and, for you, i start an unofficial petition:

please, a M gig in Berlin the 28 July

Thank you my dear new friend!

You made my day

*sun is shining again*

hello to the Family lately I was so tired and busy (=annoyed) that I couldn't be here long enough to follow up all the stories

hope we're O.K

me and my attitude

Hey MegPL! I'm glad that you decided to "drop in".

And yes, as far as I'm concerned we are O.K.

No worries

Hopefully one day I can get time to go to chat with you people and sort of introduce myself to you and learn about you.

Be !

aww i'm so sorry for you !! i'll try to post some pictures though so you guys can see what the gig will look like. Anyway Berlin is a beautiful city you'll enjoy it there for sure

Thanks cubitus

It's not a holiday trip, it's work. One day there and next day back (or same evening, I don't know. I haven't checked the tickets yet). Boring, actually.

I finally got my ticket my mom bought me the 75$ ticket she told me that i will be seated but i dunno i kind of prefer being up..more space to move but she told me that the place is HUGE and that if i wanted to see Mika properly i have to sit so i dunno what do you all think ?

Oooo, congratulations!!!

I am sure you have got the best seat, because moms always know how things are working

And you know, I truly envy you because I can't go. Today I learned that I have to be in Berlin on July 28 and it means I can't go to the concert. I 've always wanted to go to Berlin but never had a chance but now... So ridiculous!

Frankly speaking I was quite sure I would be able to go to Beirut, now I have to get used to the thought that it was just a beautiful illusion. *sigh*

are you speaking with me?

hello, nice to meet you

Hey, Allegra! Glad to meet you! How are you?

I read my previous post again and realised how I might sound. Please believe me I didn't want to be nosy I was in hurry when I posted it and didn't notice my mistake.

Allegra, dear, I don't care about airlines companies either (with one little exception - I care about MEA ) When I posted my message I wanted to share the good news that people had decided to go to Lebanon (and give people their job and income).

I can't explain how it happened but I've noticed that I had become quite a defensive to everything concerning Lebanon after the visit. I have been lucky to be to many countries and I have been to Middle East before, but Leb is truly something very different. For me it is alike .... I had visited my grandma's place

Hope I was not a bothersome, again.

Hey, how are you?

I see you are astonished at expensive flight tickets for Beirut. Don't you follow news?

http://yalibnan.com/site/archives/2008/06/resilient_beiru.php

I understand your disappointment (or dissatisfaction) but I'd rather prefer higher prices but people's growing interest to go for L. (I think these things are related) than empty cafes and restaurants of B. Empty cafes, shops, restaurants, hotels means no money or no employment

People's steady income is better for the country, too.

:roftl: You are funny. I adooore planes!

But ships are:thumbdown:

Wow lucky you and yes we want pictures !!! have a safe flight dear.

Hi Jimmy! How are you?

I second to you: Dana, we want pictures and stories. The good ones

And give a hug to your lovely country from me

Hi there babe! My day is boring as usual, how was yours?

 

Hehehehe, the DVD is really worth it, you're gonna love it (have the feeling you'll end up buying it )

Oh, I'm so to hear that your day was boring.

Maybe you need a rest?

You foresaw it right: I couldn't resist taking a glance at young Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Ravi Shankar (did you know that Norah Jones is RV's daughter?) and the gang

And sorry for the 1971-thing

I thought that to become a queen you can't be born later than in 1940-s

by the way what kind of music it is?

Hey, LebAngel and tnx a lot for your help

For me it's difficult to determine. Folk? It's from Fairuz. I heard her first when I was in Jordan and then I wanted to buy her music but they had only tapes to offer

In Beirut there was a loooong shelf with Fairuz' CDs and I picked up some CDs without knowing very well what am I exactly picking up. So, later I realised that I had chosen also one which was fully in Arabic although the sticker on the cover was in English (it says that some songs are on poems by Gibran ). It is a bit crazy if you don't have a lightest glue what a song is about

So your help was truly needed. Thank you for your post!

Hello, Happy Ending! And welcome!

You have chosen the right name

WHAT an intro!!!! Welcome to the MFC!!! I already see you love love it here!!!!

Thanks, HollyD. Glad to hear from you

back!

Welcome to MFC :original: I'm Alexandraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hi Alexandra, with million a

Thank you!

Hi!

I've got a CD and its all over in Arabic except the short intro on the cover which is in English.

Fortunately all the titles of the songs are also written with Latin letters. I tried on my own with a help from internet but could translate only 2 of them

So can someone give me hand with the others, please?

Ya Nassima Douja

La Tass'alouni

Kad Ataka Ya'tazirou

Ya Aakidal Hajibayni

Rudani Ela Biladi

Assidat Loubnan

Almahaba

Many thanks in advance

Hi there! I'm sorry I didn't see this before. I'm glad you like it, I really think we have a lot in commun and would love to get to know you better.

 

Why did I asume it was the DVD you were talking about?Anyways, that concert is really a blast

Hallo, TheBlackQueen! How was your day? Thank you that you visited my thread, again .

Have you already heard the news that my intro bulla has already reached to im_stuck_in_the_middle's (what a tricky name to quote ) list of worth reading books and looks like I've got my own thread in MFC . Couldn't be better, mh?!

But on serious note: didn't you mention that you got DVD? But you said that you had seen the concert?:blink: Or.. were you saying that you were present at the concert in 1971?!! Really?!! Oh, if its true, I envy you. You know, sometimes it looks like all the best things had happened before I was born and this is one of those cases. But mostly I am very happy with the time I had chance to born into .

You know, I have been thinking about the DVD-thing the whole day and was going to look around in Amazon whether they have it. I will, anyway... can't help.

Take care!

Welcome!

 

Your name is very Estonian-like.

Hey and thank you!

Really?? Which one of them?

You're definetely on my good books!

 

So add pictures!

Kidding:bleh:

Hey, thanks for your post! You made me

I like your sense of humour

Hopefully you will amuse me soon again:wub2:

And don't try me, I can be very productive with pictures too

Take care!

Hey! This thread looks a bit lifeless. Where are you all cheerful Lebanese? Hope you haven't abandoned the thread

Any good news???? I think this thread badly needs positive posts to be balanced again

Hello all!!!

I'm Michela.. And I'm from Italy...

It's much time that I'm on MMFC but I never wrote here...

I hope to be welcome among you!

 

I love MIKA more than my life.. I THINK HE IS THE BEST SINGER OF THE WORLD!!!!

 

KISSES

Ciao bella! and

You are absolutely right: he is incredibly talented musician and definitely the best live performer of the world at the moment.

Hi Nerys! Welcome!

Couple of months is really nothing, believe me :roftl:

( and you don't know how slow I can be sometimes. My friend is used to say then sarcastically that a turtle in comparison with me is a race horse Ah, men!! )

Welcome to MFC, Mika-me! People are friendly here.

Salut Adeline et bienvenue!!

Hi Danielle! Welcome and, true, people are nice here.
