Remember the World Cup manakish? One of my friends sent me the following pictures he found on Facebook of the bakery that is making those manakish. It is located in Haret Hreik.
Now I know where to get a dozen of Germany manakish from as soon as Brazil loses and gets out of the race! 😛
The Playboy Playmates who came to Lebanon 2 weeks ago for a fashion event have created a buzz in the media. On Thursday May 20th, three of them were hosted in Talk of the Town by Mona Abu Hamza.
The video below shows their interview along with Mario Bassil.
Thanks to @rawadelhoyek for pointing me to the video.
Dear readers, please take a moment to read this message.
Philippe was born with a cardiomyopathy.He is 25 years old.
His condition has changed since last Christmas. He has fluids in the lungs, oedemas in the legs and had a thrombosis on may 9th.
His cardiologist as well as other specialists all agree that only a HEART TRANSPLANT can save him.The operation will take place at the Georges Pompidou hospital in Paris. Philippe doesn’t have any healthcare coverage in France since he is Lebanese and the operation costs 220 000 euros approximately, and his family can’t pay this sum on their own.
We call all friends, families, friends of friends and random strangers to help philippe get his operation.
A bank account has been created in Lebanon, Paris, and a Paypal account is available for overseas donations.
Money has no value by itself, it all depends on what you do with it.
Thank you for your help.

Looks like someone woke up early today and thought of reworking the traditional Lebanese Manakish to turn them into World Cup Manakish!! (apparently through food coloring substances).

Ziad being great as usual!
I was in Tripoli last Saturday on the way to El-Mina when I spotted this building covered with German flags on all sides! And obviously that fanatic supporter Rabah Assafiri is so proud of himself that he’s even displaying his name on a flag for Bayern Munich… probably to get attention? He got mine at least.
There’s probably more flags on this building than on Berlin’s presidential palace!
A 24-year-old Lebanese immigrant has been crowned Miss U.S.A.
Rima Fakih, from Dearborn, Michigan, is believed to be the first Muslim to win the pageant despite nearly stumbling over in her evening gown last night.
Born in Lebanon, she emigrated with her parents to the U.S. as a baby. She was raised in New York and attended a Catholic school.

The world cup is kicking off in less than a month and lot of people are getting those mini flags for their cars and balconies, it might seem silly but it’s cool as long as it makes people deviate a bit from the political discussions.
Still, it really is pathetic when you get a flag that is more than 1 meter in width or length! I’m pretty sure you could have put that spent money for a better use! Probably to fix your screeching brakes?
I took the first photo in Jdeideh, while I got the second via one of my Facebook friends.
“Beirut survived the war, but it’s not going to survive peace. What survived two decades of war, we are destroying now, in the name of modernity,” Mr Kodieh says.
Across Beirut, hundreds of high-rise buildings have replaced old buildings. The city’s architectural heritage is being wiped out because there is no legislation to protect it.
“What’s happening is very sad, but it’s not in our power to stop it,” says Rasheed Jalekh, representative of the Beirut municipality.

Destroying the architectural heritage is indeed ugly, but is Beirut really turning into an ugly city?
The first video is taken in Tariq El-Jadida and the second in Ras El-Nabeh.
