Lebo Land Part 4

All,
Im writing this in a slight blur from the previous night where i returned to my infamous Red-Bull days for those that witnessed those times of my life will declare that I truly was a mess when i went sick on the Bull...and last night man i was on it!
I went to a show where they perform French, English and Arabic songs and it was a proper Lebo environment, full of everything i love and hate about this country, you had the show-offs the people so up themselves it boarded on the ridiculous, and then you had the care-free loving nation that is epitomised by my friend Dala. I had a good night and hadn’t been to such an environment for a long time, the last concert show thing i went to must have been like Usher or something ridiculous like that.
I keep forgetting to mention what happened at Jummah (Friday prayer), well i went to pray at this famous mosque called Omari, which was formally a Church and turned into a mosque i believe under the Ottomans, it is believed to have Yaya(John the Baptaists) arm in it, and also it had a hair from the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) however this hair was stolen during the civil war. Anyway after the prayer, me and Mohammad went to the man leading the prayer, the Iman to offer peace and blessings and got speaking, turned out he knew some people in the UK that i knew, a guy was there who was filming the prayer and he asked to speak to me, so after speaking to the Sheikh(another word for Imam kind of) i spoke to the film guy, who asked if i minded being part of a film documentary and answer in a few questions and everyone who knows me knows i love my 15mins!So i duly obliged and will inshallah be appearing on a film documentary near you soon!lol!

I am almost ready to go to Syria tomorrow however im pretty nervous though thankfully ill have Mohammad with me, i feel you cant be completely at ease in alot of these countries and you constantly have to be careful, like for example i took a picture of a picture of Nasrallah the Hizbollah leader here that is almost everywhere in the south and I was told that I should delete it incase the police check my pictures and stuff and im thinking come on, firstly im Sunni (sorry to label myself, because i hate it, i prefer to be known as Muslim but i suppose in situations like this its important to make the distinction) and so from what i believe the majority of Sunnis are against him, so that wouldn’t make sense, secondly its jus a photo of a photo and its not like pics of me and him getting wasted on red bull together or anything, i haven’t deleted it as i see it as ridiculous and inshallah it will be otherwise my next post might be from a Syrian or Jordanian prision!lol

Take care
