guylainem123 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Sorry, donuts are just people who travel around to see Mika. We turned into Fokkers somewhere along the way. Nevermind. When do you leave for Beirut? How long does it take to get there? After hanging onto mummy's (Blue Sky's) coat tails all week in Japan, I don't think I'd be able to navigate Lebanon on my own unless there's a lot more French than Arabic everywhere. there are lots of french and english christine, pack your bags girl, you'll be ok!

enigma Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 For those who might be tempted a package including a night in a 5* SPA hotel + breakfast + transportation to the festival http://bey3.com/lebanon/for-sale/watch-mika-in-concert-with-intercontinental-mzaar-baalbeck-package/ Or do what I did and get a cheap Easyjet to Cyprus, stay overnight in the Easyhotel (a whole £12!) and then a short hop over to Beirut! But I'm coming back direct or I'll never make it to Cornwall! Wooh - just looked at the Beirut weather - sunny sunny sunny and hot hot hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ce_mika Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Ah. Well then I'm a donut and a fokker I guess. I've been called worse! I'm going via Cyprus on Monday evening, then on to Beirut early next morning. I've got the important Arabic phrases written down phonetically. I figure as long as I can say hello, please, thanks, where, bus, taxi, hotel, yes and no, I should be just fine! So I will spend the first couple of days (before the gig) saying WHERE BUS? and WHERE MIKA? and then after the gig WHERE BUS, and WHERE HOTEL? It'll be a doddle! don't forget to learn how to say 'bathroom' maybe you'll have to use it in case of extreme necessity! Anyway, have fun!!!!!!!

Christine Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 there are lots of french and english christine, pack your bags girl, you'll be ok! Okay that was just an excuse anyway. My real problem is that I can't be arsed (nor can I afford it) after a trip to Asia. It's also my fiscal year end which is why Eden was also out of the question. Mika will have to time things better if he wants me there next time. Good luck with your travels tomorrow Enigma. Can't wait to hear your report!

After his planetary success with a first album « Life in Cartoon Motion », sold for more than 6 million copies throughout the world, Mika has released a second album in September 2009 "The Boy who Knew too Much" much acclaimed by the public with such titles as We are Golden, Blame it on the Girls, Rain, Dr. John, etc. After an outstanding performance in Beirut Downtown in 2008, Mika’s public is passionately waiting for him in his country of birth to interpret in the magnificent frame of the Baalbek Roman Temples his biggest hits and to present his stunning new album. We promise a memorable evening for all his fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beata Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Waw, lucky you !!!!! I can' take holidays in that period:boxed: You will get a report! I'm going! Well, Baalbeck is full of ancient relics and I thought I'd blend in well... I can't do videos but I will try and take a couple of pix on my rather pathetic camera (no idea how to put them on here, will have to read up on that). I'm coming back and going straight to the Eden Project gig though, so you may have to be patient! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We promise a memorable evening for all his fans. I like this, Dani -- much better than this little snippet I ran across yesterday: This year, the festivals of Baalbeck, Beiteddine and Byblos – otherwise known as the big three – are heading into their third peaceful summer with fingers crossed, hoping concerts by the likes of Diana Krall, Caetano Veloso and Gorillaz will happen without a hitch. The festivities begin tonight with the pint-sized pop sensation Mika performing amid the majestic Roman ruins of Baalbeck. And while the season opener is a homecoming of sorts – Mika was born in Beirut to a Lebanese mother and an American father – organisers says it is more about the future than the past. Pint-sized? Never mind that they seem to have the date wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
