What a beautiful name you have Love how it sounds as well as what it means. A little bit late "welcome back" from me too! I had to "think of you" yesterday cause I was reading Rudolf's book and there is a part about their experience in Beirut after the war..I don't know if you have read it? I shall quote it here if you'd like

thank you, thats sweet of you katerina..
awww...actually I didnt read the book since I do not understand german (im learning tho), but a lebanese friend who lives in hannover showed me the beirut part and translated it for me...I loved it! that was in 96, they shot when you came into my life video in Beirut after the war (you can see destroyed buildings), along with the concert they had...

Watch on youtube.com

here's the vid, it was shot right next to my work where I am right now
Cheers Katerina

I always liked the rock version better. However, the footage is amazing.
Btw, any ideas why Scorps didn't bother to shoot proper video clips recently? In my opinion, Humanity was disastrous...

[Leb Yellow Butterfly]

yep you're so right, we haven't seen a good recent clip!
the footage is awesome here yes, I can just look out of this window in my office and see the place where they shot it, the place has way changed, now Beirut is among the most beautiful cities in the world..wars are just terrible

awww...sweet!
hehehe, you know political and security situations have never been really stable here since the late 60s and until now, I mean I am 27, I have witnessed 3 wars...a part of the civil war which lasted 15 years and ended in 1990, then Israeli attacks on Lebanon (96 and 2006) and a few conflicts/blasts here and there few years ago...of course those days were horrible, and the whole world was praying for us for passing through dangerous and hard times...but the thing is, we have a good spirit, we learned how to have fun despite everything, Beirut rises after each "incident" hitting it..
that explains what was written about it on frommers.com:

"You just can't keep a good city down. Or, in Beirut's case, a turbulent past of decades of civil war hasn't taken the sheen off its glossy, cosmopolitan swagger. Lebanon's capital is far from your "regular" Middle Eastern city: Nestled on the Mediterranean coast, Beirut is an enticing combination of French designer boutiques in rebuilt Downtown, chi-chi private beach clubs where bling is king, cutting-edge galleries in converted warehouses and magnificent third-century mosaics in the National Museum."

things got better now and it is safe to be here, that's why the scorpions were here few months ago..in fact,many concerts were scheduled for lebanon after pure instinct tour (including all the tours actually) and then cancelled due to political situation, that's why their come-back this year was more than satisfying for us! Scorpions do love Beirut!

Now I'll listen to The lovely acoustic angel song, have a nice weekend too !
Rock on!
Nada

I believe it's better to shoot nothing than such awful thing. I can't even call it a video clip... They could have made look perfectly simple, like this.

I felt like checking my first post in here again, it was nice to re-read the posts welcoming me from people I didn’t know back then, but who I know pretty well now..
It’s been 3 months I’m here and I now have a wonderful family from all over the world..
Thank you all for the positive energies, and thank you Scorps for what you are..

Cheeers!

Hello Nada !

Welcome here, it is nice to meet you, do you have cars in Lebanon and mobile phones ?

Elton you made my day!

That should be my answer:
Oh thanks therocker! nice to meet you too, and maybe someday I will really get to meet you in person..
in fact no we don't have those, I am writing this post live from my tent and my camel is waiting for me to ride it outside in the desert...

how's Kuwait? you're already missed in here you know that?

[Thomas]

I have a question ?
When a camel orders a cup of coffee
How many lumps of sugar does he want ? ... one or two

well I think it depends, a dromedary would ask for one, a camel would ask for two

in fact I have only seen this animal once, and that was in Dubai ...we have no desert in Lebanon..
I remember how much I got scared when I was sitting over there and he was trying to stand up...terrifying! lol

[therocker]
