And even then, they mostly do not love each other. Trust me, I'm Lebanese and I know my people well. Sure they will watch your tv serials etc. but they will always love their own best.<BR/><BR/>But it's about the numbers.80 million plus consumers that are Egyptian plus Egypt is the Hollywood of the Middle East despite Syria and the Gulf's attempts to infiltrate the market and produce big film festivals with their petrodollars.<BR/><BR/>Singers like Elissa, Wael Kfoury, Marwa, Nancy etc. know that they can make bigger bucks in Egypt than anywhere else. It's all about the money and we lebanese are merchants before anything else.<BR/><BR/>Fyi don't sound so defensive it isn't becoming of you. We all know that there are more problems in the Middle East than there are bloggers to cover them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-22944243456851753992007-12-14T14:29:00.000+02:002007-12-14T14:29:00.000+02:00@anonymous, who told you that I am not interested ...@anonymous, who told you that I am not interested in what is happening in Algeria ?? not posting about the terrible terrorist act and the Sarko's visit do not mean that I do not care about it , may be on that day I did not have a time to cover all what is going on in the Arab world <BR/>about being an Egyptian chronicler , well I am blogger and I write what ever I like :) <BR/><BR/>@anonymous 2, Egypt is still the center of the Arab universe , you want an evidence , the Lebanese actresses and singers believe their real success certificate must be signed by the Egyptians <BR/>it is not only Egyptians who like the Lebanese but also the whole Arab world , I like the Lebanese people because they are friendly and they like Egypt too <BR/>it is not a competition on how more popular but I describe Egypt like UK and Lebanon like France without rivalry or hate or wars <BR/>buddy this is a very old relation between the two countries , the wood that was used to transfer the stones to build the pyramdis was from Lebanon , Isis found Osirs on the Shores of Sideon :)Zeinobiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290387395565291310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-83106087036524233362007-12-14T02:18:00.000+02:002007-12-14T02:18:00.000+02:00I am curious.

I keep hearing about how much more attractive and even tempered the women are. They love their joie du vivre. They love their character. In Egypt, all I ever heard was how wonderful the Lebanese people were. <BR/><BR/>Can you explain where their recent infatuation with the Lebanese comes from? Wasn't Egypt the center of the Arab universe?<BR/><BR/>Yes loud laughter is right. Kind of a joke how they propulgate Lebanon as a democracy in Western media when it's just another tribal Arab nation with more factions than words in George Bush's vocabulary.
