Contradicting Lebanese headlines
Even when the numbers are speaking (i.e. Logic), you see Lebanese news sources interpreting it differently.
Yesterday was the day for Beirut Syndicate of Lawyers elections. Now check today’s headlines!
Assafir Newspaper
Al Mustaqbal newspaper
Tayyar.org (FPM Official website)
So, what do you think?
Beiteedine VS. Moussa Castle
Here’s a funny fact:
It costs you more money to enter Moussa castle (Entirely built by one man, Moussa Maamari) than to enter Beiteddine castle.
For Moussa Castle you pay 10,000 L.L. to mainly see a large weaponry collection, while you pay 5,000 L.L. for Beiteddine to see a nice piece of history.
Note that Moussa castle is a private property.
I went to both places today, and it was very nice being in the Chouf area. Some photos coming soon 😉

George Wassouf arrested
According to the news, George Wassouf sayir manzou3! The Swedish police arrested him because he was in possession of 30 grams of cocaine.
According to AFP:
Syrian-Lebanese crooner George Wassouf was arrested in Sweden at the weekend on drug charges just hours before he was due to perform a concert, police told AFP on Sunday.
Wassouf “has been held in police custody since yesterday (Saturday) on drug charges,” a police officer in the western Stockholm district, Martin Holm, told AFP.
Wassouf is probably the most famous drugs addict in Lebanon, his dumb look tells everything! He has been helping lot of people getting high on songs like “El Hawa Soltan” for so long now, and he deserves a break… in Stockholm.
Thunderstorm in Beirut
We had a thunderstorm last night in Beirut, and my friend Antoine from Adidap.com took this wonderful photo of Beirut from his balcony in Ain Saade during the storm.

The photo is stunning in my opinion and can be easily nominated the photo of the day on the Lebanese blogsphere! Sietske already blogged about it, and now it’s here on +961 😉
P.S: This photo is part of Antoine’s PAD project (Picture A Day), he’s taking a photo every day and publishing on his flickr account. you may check his complete collection by clicking here.
