Lebanese Influencers and Political Connections

Question regarding background of the public Lebanese girls on social media

It seems like the majority of them or their families at least are affiliated with political parties I’m thinking of example Zeinab kdouh being married to the son of an Amal party member, tatiana nassour having a father that is wanted and donates to Hezbollah. Are there any influencers others that are affiliated? Fun to see where they get their money from. I have read for example that hadba sabbaghs father being involved in the Syrian civil war and that’s how they got rich? There’s probably more examples and connections.

Discover Baskinta: Lebanon’s Scenic Mountain Village

Random village in Lebanon #10

I started this series a couple months ago when I left the country as a tribute to our beautiful country, so many of you guys joined in through the comments and dms sharing stories, photos, memories and recommendations from all over the country.

I could tell immediately that many loved it and since now I (kinda) regained control of my time, we're back! So here we go,

I'm starting this series as a tribute to Lebanon, where I'll be highlighting a different village in each post along with its history, unique facts and local stories whenever available.

If you have any photos or memories of the featured village, feel free to share them in the comments. You're also welcome to suggest which village we should explore

next.

Today's village is Baskinta

Located in the Matn district of Mount Lebanon (40km from Beirut), Baskinta sits at an elevation of around 1,250 metres, beneath the slopes of Mount Sannine and surrounded by forests, orchards and mountain landscapes. Known for its cool summers and snowy winters, the village is one of Lebanon's most scenic mountain settlements and has long attracted visitors seeking nature, hiking and traditional Lebanese village life.

The name Baskinta is believed to have Syriac origins, meaning "settlement", however, its exact meaning remains debated. The village is particularly known for its apple and cherry orchards, as well as its connection to the Lebanese writer and philosopher Mikhail Naimy, who was born in Baskinta in 1889. Naimy's strong connection to the surrounding landscape inspired much of his literary work, and the area forms part of the Baskinta Literary Trail, which passes through locations associated with him and other Lebanese writers.

Baskinta and the surrounding areas contain the ruins of monuments, cemeteries and pottery remains dating back to Phoenicia and Ancient Greece. The Greeks built several palaces there, of which enormous stones, pillars, and underground passages still exist. The temple in the place known as Qanat Bakish was originally dedicated to Bacc...

Do you think the President position will be allocated to Muslims, once either Shia or Sunni become the dominant population majority in Lebanon?

Why shipping fees from Aliexpress are so high?

I remember most items were free shipping or barely 10$ now the cheapest shipping fee is 50$ even if an item cost 5$.

Did everyone stoppee using Aliexpress here or found a wsy around those shipping fees?

I was told that people shifted to use Shein but their items are far worse than aliexpress with a very limited selection.

How do you guys do online verification through ID and Proof of residency (ifedet sakan or ogero bills or whatever) for any online service?

I'm trying to use a payment gateway called Paddle and it needs any for of ID (hawiye, daftar swe2a, etc) and any proof of residency. Yet whenever I scan my documents for any similar service too that isn't just local, it always seem to be unable to be used.

Do I have to get official translations or is there anything else I'm missing out on?

Best iphone value?

Do you recommend buying the new iphone from abroad? If so, how do I do that? Or would it be cheaper if a friend or relative coming to Leb bought it for me? I think it would be even after I pay the tax for it. Any thoughts?

Any CNAM graduates?

I heard there's a track where you finish 3 years of Chemistry in LU then do three more years at CNAM to graduate with master's at chemical engineering but it just sounds oddly fake (?) Like is that true? Is it worth less than most diplomas here or? Cause I feel like there should be a catch to this but can't figure out what it is lol, it seems like such a cool opportunity but haven't met anyone who's done this so I'm wondering. Thanks in advance!

Batroun Internet

Hello everyone,

We all know the Internet in Lebanon is terrible and that the fiber optic rollout is taking a long time.

We were looking to go to Lebanon to live around Batroun area since I work from home. We're not sure yet due to the troubles elsewhere in Lebanon. I believe Batroun area is relatively peaceful. I'm wondering how is the Internet in Batroun and around there. For those living there, what speed are you getting in that area? And, is it stable/reliable?

Thanks in advance.

OEA question

Hey all,

I'm applying for the OEA yet I am still in the first step (ratification at the Ministry of Education/تصديق).

My questions are: (1) how many copies of each certificate do I require? (2) should all the copies be official, or can they be photocopied? (3) at this stage, do I require the university transcripts? (4) is there anything that I need to know about this stage?

TIA

Internet in Naqqache

Does anyone know of any internet providers in the Naccache/Dbayeh area that are actually fast and reliable? I need something that supports gaming, streaming, and work. Unfortunately, I don't have a land-line.
