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 😉
I took this photo 2 days ago from my balcony, the moonlight was looking nice. The area showing is Ras El Nabeh.

I got a new idea today, and you can see it right at the end of each post. The new “Share this article on Facebook” link will let you share any of my posts on your Facebook profile for your friends to check it out.
You get nice content on your profile and I get extra visitors! It’s a Win/Win situation, no? 😀
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.
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.
I know some people might post comments attacking me, but I couldn’t but share this video with you!
Here is how it was like in Beirut last morning right after some heavy rainfall.
It’s becoming more like an annual ritual here! The ministry of transport and public works is as usual unprepaed and obviously has been dealing with bad subcontractors.
But what’s different this time is that Ghazi Al-Aridi (the minister) claimed that’s he’s ready to resign because of today’s foods. Now although there’s HUGE difference between his readiness to resign and actually doing it, but let’s see!

Have you noticed this laser light over Beirut recently?

This light originates from Moahammad Al Amine mosque in downtown Beirut. I assume it points to the Kaabah (located in Mecca KSA) that muslims face during their prayer no matter where they are on earth.
