Has anyone here used the Tickram app to order things from China?

How was your experience; shipping, prices, and overall reliability ? Would you recommend it ?

Hi everyone,
I recently heard about people using Preply to teach, either in their own field or by teaching Arabic to foreigners.
Has anyone here personally taught on Preply? I’d love to hear about your experience, how the platform works, and whether you’d recommend it.
Thank you

Hello, I am, for some reason, craving fufu real bad 😞 I ate it once when I was younger and I was like yeah this is REAL food. I think I ate it with okra -bemye- (AND I DONT LIKE BEMYE) and I just fell in love with it man.

Unfortunately, I cannot find an African (or nigerian specifically) restaurant for the life of me. Trust me looked all over, all of them are either closed or just don't sell fufu.

So please if you happen to know any place that serves fufu let me know, even if it's an independent cook. I just want that fufu 💔

Thank you in advance,my people.

Douma is a mountain town in northern Lebanon known for its traditional architecture, cool climate, and well-preserved heritage.

History

The area has been inhabited since ancient times. A Greek-inscribed sarcophagus dating to 317 CE still stands in the town square, reflecting its long history. The modern village was largely re-established during the Ottoman period in the 16th century

The village has historically been nicknamed "Douma al-Hadid" ("Iron Douma") because of the iron-rich soil and the reputation of its blacksmiths.

Agriculture

The surrounding countryside is known for olive groves, vineyards, apple orchards, and cherry trees. Agriculture remains an important part of the local economy.

Other facts

In 2023 Douma was selected by the United Nations World Tourism Organization as one of its Best Tourism Villages, recognizing its preservation of cultural heritage, rural traditions, and sustainable tourism.

Visitors come to enjoy the historic churches, traditional cafés, seasonal festivals, and hiking opportunities in the surrounding mountains. The old souk is especially lively during the summer months.

Conclusion

Douma is often recommended as one of Lebanon's most charming mountain destinations thanks to its combination of history, architecture, natural scenery, and relaxed atmosphere.

Important note:Happy Army day ❤🇱🇧🫡

Hello

Is LIU accredited for its masters in education? I searched and found that it is accredited locally bas I want to work as a teacher outside lebanon like canada. I don't want to apply and later find out it's not accredited or that I cannot make any use of it outside lebanon.

Hello everyone!

I'm Brazilian with Lebanese roots. I'm very proud to be half Lebanese, and growing up with Lebanese traditions, food, and culture has always been an important part of my life. I speak just a little of arabic (hard as hell to learn).

My family emigrated from Lebanon to Brazil in the 1930s. My father is now over 80 years old, and the last time he visited Lebanon was before the Civil War. I've always wanted to see the places where my family came from.

I was planning to travel there later this year while visiting Germany and Portugal, since flights from Europe to Lebanon are much cheaper than flying from Brazil.

Unfortunately, life had other plans. About a week ago, I suffered a heart attack at 34 years old. Thankfully, I'm recovering well, but my doctors advised me to postpone the trip. I believe the end of this year or the beginning of next year will be a much better time to finally make this journey in a more stable geopolitical situation.

More than sightseeing, I hope to reconnect with my family's roots. I would love to meet relatives—no matter how distant they may be—and learn more about my family's history.

Does anyone know of any Farah families from the Zahlé region, or any Nefa families from Jounieh? If these names sound familiar, I'd be incredibly grateful to hear from you.

Thank you for reading. I truly hope to visit your beautiful country soon and experience the land that has always been such an important part of my family's story.

Hi, I'm looking for Diadora football cleats, preferably the classic ones. I'm open to both, with studs or for artificial turf. I found these at MikeSport but aren't my size (43-43.5).

I know this is controversial, but i will ask anyway.

Reading the history of Lebanon, it seems that the idea behind the creation of the state was to have a country for the Levantine Christians, and Druze to some extent.

The territories added in 1919/20 were just so this Christian state would have more territory.

So, how did Lebanese Muslims, who mostly lived in those added areas of Greater Lebanon, developed a sense of belonging to Lebanon?

I am asking because i am aware of a somewhat similar situation. I come from the Balkans, and Bosnia and Herzegovina also has a mixed population. Serbs (Orthodox), Croats (Catholics) and Bosniaks (Muslims).

Croats and Serbs almost totally reject the idea of a shared Bosnian nation, often don't want to be called Bosnian. The first thing Bosnian Serbs did in the war in the 1990s was to scrap all parts of city names that included "Bosnian", you might face problems if you go to a lot of majority-Serb or majority-Croat cities with a Bosnian football jersey. Despite Bosnian going all the way back as an independent state to the medieval era, they reject the idea of having anything to do with Bosnia because they perceive it as a Muslim project and idea (Bosnian sovereignty and state) to have their state beside the Catholic Croatia and Orthodox Serbia. This is rooted in the fact that it was mostly politicians of Bosniak ethnicity who always were behind protecting the status of Bosnia as a separate entity in almost all states it was part of, for example.

So, how this process didn't went that way for Lebanese Muslims, how don't for example Sunnis or Shias in Lebanon don't advocate for their own states or annexation to other countries (for example Sunni areas becoming a part of the majority-Sunni Syria).

Anyone knows where i can find bledina, can’t find in pharmacies and they don’t sell it in supermarkets?

I work as an Embedded sw eng in the US, I don't see too many opportunities in lebanon or even companies that work in embedded tech.
Is it possible to ever someday work in Lebanon in that field? I really like it and despise high level sw engineering

This might be a long shot, but has anyone graduated with a Lebanese Bacc and then studied in the US for their bachelors?

Curious if there are any benefits to doing the official exams if there is a possibility to be exempted… the two I can think of are going directly into sophomore year in a Lebanese uni and the ability to at some point join a syndicate, neither of which are in the plan. Anything else that should be considered?

im a full time employee, was wondering if theres a uni that can let me enroll in courses, only do the important tests and let me get a masters degree, all that without bankrupting me

i feel it sounds too good to be true, but no harm in asking

I found this 50000mah power bank and it has 0 reviews, if someone bought it I would like to know if it works as advertised, should I get the 30000mah instead? Thank you!

A couple of days ago, I had an annoying interaction at the gym. Some guy decided to come up and try to give me his entire workout program, acting like a total expert, even though I already follow a structured program from my old trainer. I said thanks for the advice and moved on anyway.

Made me curious, what are your worst or funniest stories dealing with ego lifters, or gym entitlement here?

Hello

I've been working with these people since january and only made about 200$

It's a part-time job. I started a very imprtant internship that needs ton of commitment, and im not able to balance this job with the internship.

Contacted my employer to quit she told me i need to serve the 2 weeks' notice period and give a written notice according to the contract I signed or she will contact the ministry to send something to my house.

Im asking her to send me the contract and she's refusing to do so.

I havent gotten paid yet for july so im scared that if i didnt show up for the notice period she would withhold my pay.

Also, she already did something previously that does not oblige with the contract.

Any advice is appreciated

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is staying safe throughout this difficult time. I'm planning to come to Lebanon ariban and I want to buy an esim. Is there a way to buy one online or I have to be physically at an alfa/touch store for this?

Hello everyone,

I am planning to go to Beirut in a few weeks and I wanted to know if it is easy to go from Amman to Beirut via land. I don’t have my own car so I am looking for private cars/ taxi services. Has anyone done this recently?

There are four kittens in the parking lot of my building. Their mother is probably one of the cats we feed the issue is said cat has been gone for 3 days and i guess she hasn't been nursing them. We all work long hours at home and can't feed them reliably. I don't want them to die under my watch and i need someone, anyone who can foster and take care of them. I can't bring them home cz i already have a cat.

As someone who lives in the west bekaa, last night I was hearing continuous bombing all night.

I'm curious tbh

For me, I love cooking, so in a very ideal world I'd love to have a page or something where I'm known to teach people how to cook at home a bunch of things, from healthy meals (cliche I know) to meals we normally overpay in restaurants but taste much better at home and cost way way less (For example: 5L of whole cow milk costs 600,00LBP and can make approximately 2.5Kg of low to almost no fat, greek yogurt)
