has AM PM and a few other shops selling over priced and dated Euro/US styled summer tee shirts and jeans 6 months behind the rest of the world?
2. MAYBE THEY'RE WAITING FOR A NAME CHANGE TO "MUSLIM" DIOR
(08.10.12)
3. Negative image portrayed all the time
ayman ,   milan italy   (08.11.12)
This article is biased and written deliberately to ruin lebanon and beirut's recovering tourism image Don't be surprised when lebanese newspapers portray you in a negative way becasue you do it the same. Both sides focus on the minor negative details to discredit each other and celebrates the other sides woes. Unfortunately it is a continuos war in all fields

Gabriel ,   Tel Aviv   (08.12.12)
Just like Lebanon. I've been to both and they just felt the same, different language.
7. Morocco has always been in fashion...
Buskila ,   South America   (08.13.12)
but Lebanon has its diaspora that has made it the Jewel once again, that it always is, small compact and as bio-diverse and multicultural as it try to maintain. Its Baalbeck which could compete with some of the antiquities in Morocco and Greece. What it lacks is unity, vision and proportion....and that is the curse. But its a beautiful country.
