NOW CAM! 7:14 AM Going to the pool!!

5:15 am Blog

Got back from a brilliant night at the Sky Bar a couple hours ago.  A really good looking night club right on the water in the Biel area of Beirut.  Another amazing fireworks display awaited us there when we arrived, all synchronised to house music! AMAZING. Stayed up a couple hours with some of my close friends, chocking on whiskey and green tea and am now writing to you in a bathing suit about to go down to the pool which has just opened 4 mins ago! 

 

This is the view from my balcony where we are all sitting. My first legal white night in 4 weeks. Its lurvely!

 

 

Spk in a bit.

    We really enjoyed your show in Beirut..
    you made us all ,Lebanese, very proud.. keep up the good work! And if you are still there, I recommend you check out more of the night life there… go to “basement” or “white”… enjoy Beirut, I know I did…

    Fireworks synchronised with house music ? Lebanese people sure know how to PARTY !!!

    Glad you’re finally getting some time off to relax, have fun, and party hard.

    And that view from your balcony is breathtaking…

    It’s so nice to get to see the real and beautiful Lebanon, not the war-torned one we see in the news…

    Sounds fun, you’re really lucky to get into Sky Bar, I just returned from Lebanon on Sunday(what timing huh- missed you completley!)and you couldn’t get in for 2 months.
    Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay

    It sure looks lurvely! So glad you’ve got some time off sometimes and are able to enjoy it in the best possible way.

    But please don’t forget Finland when you’re making schedules again. You have skipped this country so many times… I was actually thinking of bringing you a “vasta” when I met you in Stockholm in November. I bet you don’t know what it is! It wouldn’t have survived from the flight so I had to drop that idea. :(

    Gorgeous! Beirut is so beautiful! Alittle jealous..i think the pictures i’ve seen from Beirut take the cake when it comes to pics of places you’ve been so far. But thats speaking from a limited point of view.

    What do you think is the most beautiful place you’ve been this tour?

    Gosh! You know,some of the most beautiful places in the world are war torn. Glad to know least things are better now.

    Much Love

    You gave me admission, but afterwards it did not happened.

    So, Have a great time performing
    and perhaps I will hear from you,

    C’est vraiment gentil tout ce que tu nous offres en plus de tes fabuleux concerts et de ta musique.
    Tu es une belle personne à l’extérieur, mais également à l’intérieur, bon je ne te connais pas personellement, mais je le sais, par exemble à la fin de chaque concerts tu vas toujours voire tes fans, tu signe toujours des autographes, qu’il y ait 15 personnes ou 100, tu le fait quand même, c’est vraiment ADORABLE.
    Tu es une personne vraiment généreuse.
