Barjalona! By Rami on July 4, 2008 in Funny Innovation from Barja! Barja is a town located in Iklim Al-Kharroub (Chouf) and it lies 25Km south of Beirut.
this sign made me laugh out loud! I’m so glad you took and posted this photo, Rami – what a great sense of humor the writer must have had 🙂 !

I wish I was the one who took this one! I actually got it from flickr, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
me too!! when i was in Lebanon and i saw this, it stayed in my mind during a yearrr! and now i finally have the picture to remind me how funny is this country!
thanks a lot 🙂
we need football games, Barjalona VS Barchalona
At beginning, I did’nt understand, the addition of the word LONA in the sign
of the town’s name. Until, I red about football game. Means, the football
soccer team from Barcelona, Spain. So, the name Barja, it should be
pronounced “barza” (in spanish sound). I realize that you are already
contagious of “soccer fever” like here in Mexico.
I´m descended from a person from “Barjalona” his name was “Galup Mudeci”
I think that he modified his last name, I´m sure that begins with “m” and end
with “si”. The problem is find, the middle sound. Someone told me, it shoud
be “meegsi” (pronounced in spanish). My grandfather came to Mexico with
a “Malacon” family during 1910.
Do you know, ¿how I could contact “Megsi” family in Barja?
