.: Struggle Makes You Stronger; on Phenomenal Women
http://sietske-in-beiroet.blogspot.com/2015/05/struggle-makes-you-stronger-on.html
May 30, 2015. Struggle Makes You Stronger; on Phenomenal Women. The number of strong women I encounter in this part of the world is quite phenomenal, I was thinking the other night while cooking Pad-Thai. As in, this place seems to breed an unusual amount of strong women. The perception in the West that Arab women are weak and submissive, because society imposes this role on them, is – in my experience - a misconception. A misconception that was evident when a Lebanese journalist earlier this y...Points ...

The ladies on the right don't know it yet, but they're standing already in their finish order: from left to right, with #31, finishing first, Lea Iskandar, #1 in second place, Aregu Sisay Abate and #2 finishing as third, Sonia Wansa. Who will it be? Let’s not reveal his track record of victories. I might keep you posted. Don't you love it how the main subjects have somehow disappeared to the back? No need to keep you hopes high for that one. A friend of mine li...

.: On Beaches in Lebanon versus Beaches in Europe
http://sietske-in-beiroet.blogspot.com/2015/06/on-beaches-in-lebanon-versus-beaches-in.html
June 14, 2015. On Beaches in Lebanon versus Beaches in Europe. I went to the beach yesterday. It’s one of the southern sandy beaches (i.e. beaches south of Beirut). Going to the beach in Lebanon is definitely a different experience than in Europe. More relaxing, I’d say. Like a packing mule, because you’ve got to haul all your gear in one shot. The beach umbrella, the beach chairs, the towels, the ice box, the inflatable boat, the drinks, the wind screen, the sun screen, you name it. If you’re not ...

http://sietske-in-beiroet.blogspot.com/2015/06/go-sulk-in-hole.html
June 18, 2015. Go Sulk in a Hole. 7 AM at Ramlet el Baida. Here’s another post that will get some people upset. I know there’s lots of things at fault in this town, and for those that like equal opportunities, this may not be the best neck of the woods, but for someone who has now officially lived abroad half of her life, and the other half ‘in-country’, I say “. What are you bitchin’ about. Ready for the Beirut Baywatch. Crab in a hole (not sulking). This morning, the only beach goers were two hard core...

.: One Family; Two Faiths
http://sietske-in-beiroet.blogspot.com/2015/05/one-family-two-faiths.html
May 25, 2015. One Family; Two Faiths. Had an interesting Sunday. I went to a baptism, where I served as the godmother. Family and friends in Holland don't seem to baptize their children as much as they do here, religion being an after-thought, rather than an indication of your (political) identity. I am the godmother of one of my brother’s daughters, but don’t think I even attended that ceremony as I was on assignment somewhere. 8221; said the child. No, that’s Easter,”. I thought that was pretty funny;.
