Women’s No.1 seed Maria Sharapova is through to her first Australian Open women’s final after blitzing No.4 seed Kim Clijsters in straight-sets on Rod Laver Arena.
Sharapova had been a semifinalist in Melbourne for the past two years, but finally cleared that hurdle at her third attempt. She ended Clijsters’ Melbourne Park campaign with 6-4/6-2 win.
Every political party in Lebanon now have a color and a sign.
Guess which one is mine?
I had to cancel my trip to Egypt on Tuesday the 23rd of January, due to the protest that took place and the opposition paralyzed Lebanon. Protesters closed the airport highway in Beirut by burning tyres and cars.
I was stuck on Jounieh highway for around 4 hours before the army opened a side road and people started leaving the crowd.
Today i visited by chance www.flixn.com through another website, to discover an amazing web 2.0 service.
Flixn puts video everywhere. Users can record instantly from their webcam and post their recordings on blogs, in messages or comments, and even send video emails.
I tried it for 30 seconds just for fun with a Coca-Cola light bottle, Christmas 2006 Edition for Hungary, I bought from the supermarket for my collection.
It has been quite some time I am planning to start collecting Coca-Cola Light bottles and cans from around the world, with a website or a blog to show up my collection, but I never started this stuff.
My problem is that I have no place to keep all the bottles I will be having from my trips, so I am really thinking seriously if I should do this or not.
I have checked today for a proper domain name just in case I go for it, of course I will not list the domain options here, too many bad guys on the net !!!
Anyway, you will find below a picture with my first 3 Coke Light items, the one on the left is from the mini bar in my hotel room, the one in the middle, I bought it yesterday from a supermarket, and the cup on the right, I got it from Burger King.
| Everytime I travel, I really make sure that I have the proper documents with me so I dont really get surprised during my journeys. So before taking this flight, I have called the Hungarian embassy in Beirut and I was informed that if I am travelling through Hungary to another country, I have the right to stop over up to maximum 5 days with my Schengen visa, which means I dont need to have a Hungarian visa and this is my case, as I am leaving on wednesday morning to Sofia, Bulgaria. |

| I arrived this morning around 06:15 to Budapest Ferihegy airport with Malev airlines and after waiting in the line for like 30 minutes, I presented myself to the authorities and the guy was like crazy asking for my Hungarian visa and asking me, why I “bought” so many visas on my passport but I did not for Hungary. So I explained to him that I have called the embassy and I was informed that I can use my Schengen visa to enter Hungary, so he was not convinced, so surprised and had no idea about this issue. So he had to take his phone and call “someone” and speak with him for 2-3 minutes, while I was standing in front of him and getting not one word.After hanging up the phone, he looked at me and said, well you are right but next time buy a hungarian visa and stamped my passport.
Welcome to Hungary! |

I will resume my trips back starting January 2007, I will be dropping by Budapest in Hungary and Sofia in Bulgaria.
Happy New Year to all of you!
