lara Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Ok... Everyone else seems to have a thread but there doesn't seem to be a Lebanese one. So, if there are any Lebanese people here or just anyone really... say hi. This is a picture looking down towards Beirut from where I live And I really do think that Mika should do a concert in Lebanon:punk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sou Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I've got Lebanese roots stemming from Achrafiyeh and I'm highly influenced by them (makes me one confused Egyptian girl! lol) I've never really been to Lebanon, but my mother tells me so much about her childhood years over there! Maybe I could learn more about Lebanon through this thread!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lara Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Yaaaay! There are actually some replies Do you think you'll ever come and visit Lebanon, Sou? It's the best place for a holiday and it's nice to see the place where your parents are from, isn't it? Come on if there are any members from Lebanon - say hi and support the Lebanese Thread:punk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titania Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hi Lara! I don't have Lebanese roots but it is one of dream destinations (and not because of one famous Mr M. ). Beautiful view!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fa ya3ni we've incorporated a lot of the Lebanese into the Egyptian...I'm telling you, I'm super confused! hehe. Eno, be7ki Masri, okay? Bas it's also mixed with Lebanese Visiting Lebanon? Well, I've been talking to mom about visiting Lebanon, I'd love to see where she spent the first ten years of her life and I'd love to see where my grandmother grew up! Plus, Mika suggested visiting Zahleh in this interview (my dad went a few years ago and said it was amazing!). Fa hey, if I ever visit Lebanon, you can give me a tour! I'm not 100% Lebanese...can I still qualify for the thread though?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lara Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hi , I'm not 100% Lebanese either Sou; my Mum's English and my Dad was from Lebanon. It's never too late for a visit though - it took me ages to get here and when I left England, I went to Palestine before coming here... but eventually I found myself living here... It does have nice views from here - it can get a bit boring though sometimes if you don't go in to Beirut or somewhere 'cos it's a small village where I live and at night sometimes it's absolute silence apart from the noise of the millions of frogs there seem to be here!

cubitus Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Heyy Lara....Glad to speak to someone lebanese like me !!! well i'm half lebanese but still i speak the laguage very good eh be7ke mni7 3arabé Actualy i was in leb last summer and i was wondering wether you've read an article last summer about mika in the "Al Balad" newspaper...Because that's where i saw Mika for the first time and the article was speaking about his success in the UK but now he's become worldwide known !! it's just that when i saw the grace kelly clip on the tv in February i remembered this article..... As for the picture....it's really nice is it in Aley or Broummana ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lara Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 ha ha ha ha ha ha well done:thumb_yello: the pictures are from near Aley So you must have been there then to recognise the place...? Welcome to the thread - it's a bit small I know, but there has to be a few of us flying the flag, don't you think? I didn't see the article you mentioned but I'll try and find it maybe online. So where do you have links in Lebanon and do you visit often? I posted a reply the other day but the server was being changed and the messages disappeared... anyway, I put a pic of my dog, Grace (not named after the song) 'cos someone asked about her so... here she is again, looking very lazy but cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jassisa Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Mar7aba! I'm a proud lebanese Last time I was in Lebanon I was 3 years old Does anyone know if Mika speaks arabic? I know he speaks french Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveLoveMIKA Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I think he said that he speaks it a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubitus Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hey Lara i guessed that the picture must have been taken from Aley because i've been there by night that's why i wasn't sure though I saw that you posted some picures of lebanon on Mika's official site....Why don't you put them here ? I wanted to ask you...is Mika already known in lebanon ? how much ???? tell us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lara Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hi again, Thanks for posting - I was beginning to think the Lebanese thread had died! I'll put some pictures up - it takes a long time to upload things though 'cos the internet connection here can be a bit slow sometimes. So you went to Aley? Most of the places there are closed now though until the summer, but thank God, my favourite sandwich shop is open all the time I'm not sure if I asked you before, but where in Lebanon is your family from? Mika's getting more famous now here - they play his songs on the radio more and on Miss Lebanon tv programme, they played 'relax' - as they were walking up and down the stage - I'd have been dancing if I was there though:) And it's never too late to visit here - I was 2 years old when I came here first and didn't return back till I was 30. Maybe Mika should do a concert here and all his Lebanese fans who live outside could come for a visit and see Mika at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
