It seems like 2010 is year for the southern Lebanese girls to dominate beauty contests!

After Rima Fakih who’s originally from Srifa was selected for Miss USA 2010, Rahaf Abdallah from Khiyam became Miss Lebanon 2010 on LBC last night.

And here’s our new beauty queen!

Overdoing the World Cup 2010 – VII

More on the Lebanese overdoing the World Cup and over cheering for their favorite teams! It happened that I was watching Germany vs. Argentina at some cafe in Aley, and right after the game ended, everybody in the village hopped into their cars and started touring the streets in endless convoys!

The video below says it all, inside of it you’ll get to see a guy waving a slipper with an Argentinian tied on it! (diplomatic crisis on the rise?), infinite number of German flags, and a police car stuck in traffic unable to do a thing!

On the other hand, I spot these photos on Facebook. Few guys made a funeral for Brazil following their loss to Holland on Friday!

I keep on discovering new blogs every week, and it’s becoming hard to keep the number of link below 10 or so, should I continue including all the posts I like or just include the best of the best?

Anyway, I’ve got 16 links for this round!

Lebanese blogosphere weekly link roundup (2010/06/27)

This week was somehow special on the Lebanese blogosphere since it witnessed an initiative by the Lebanese bloggers to write in Arabic in support to “نحن لغتنا” campaign aiming to revive the use of the Arabic language. You can refer to this post on Lebanon Aggregator for a round up of all the blogs that participated in that initiative.

And now let’s check what else were the Lebanese bloggers up to. 14 Links for this round.

Overdoing the World Cup 2010 – V

I was surprised to see this image of a German flag with a Nazi swastika in the middle on Chroniques Beyrouthines blog a while ago. According to the author, the image was taken in Bteghrine. I would have understood if it was put there to make a political statement… but for the World Cup? Come on!

Flag with Nazi Swastika in Lebanon

Apparently Germany got irritated, and its foreign ministry protested to the Lebanese foreign ministry because of similar flags.

الخارجيّة الألمانيّة تعترض

بعثت وزارة الخارجية الألمانية، عبر السفارة في بيروت، رسالة إلى وزارة الخارجية اللبنانية، تلفت فيها الأنظار إلى الأعلام الألمانية الموجودة في الأسواق اللبنانية بمناسبة كأس العالم، وبعضها يحمل الصليب النازي. ورأت أنّ الأمر يعدّ إساءة إلى الديموقراطيّة وحقوق الإنسان ودولة ألمانيا الاتحادية.
وأشارت الرسالة إلى رفع لبنانيين مهاجرين إلى ألمانيا هذه الأعلام والشعارات، ما دفع الخارجية الألمانية إلى الطلب من الدولة اللبنانية العمل على إزالة كل هذه الإساءات.
