Try to call anyone on their mobile today and you will notice the national anthem playing as a ringtone. This was set by the Telecom Ministry and both Alfa & Touch to celebrate Lebanon’s independence. It’s a nice move but I hope it won’t last more than 1 day because it gets annoying especially if you make a lot of calls during the day.
Speaking of celebrations, Fairouz will celebrate her 80th birthday tomorrow, one day before Lebanon’s independence. In case you missed it last year, here’s a [beautiful animated video] about Fairouz.
