Moussa (known as the architect) is a success story; the now 74 years old man (with a hat) from Deir El Qamar, th seat of the Lebanon governer in the past, had a dream of building a castle and his fellow student made fun of him and so did a girl he loved; he was a poor kid while she was born to a man of wealth. He took the challenge and built the castle by himself in 41 years, and his effort had the UNESCO list his site as an international heritage. A museum inside the castle displays the life in Lebanon in that era (1960's). The pictures below show a teacher giving a lesson (what a lesson ? !), and a men and women carry normal daily activities. Click the title to visit the website of Moussa. (Google Earth: Lat 33.7006 and Lon 35.5835)

Hi Dr. Tasisr, how are you ? I met this man 7 years ago ! he was a bit younger ! but do you really believe his story ? I mean was it all real ?
I am fine Sami, how are you today ? I met the guy in person and talked to him, and I agree with you; the story is beautified to make an impression. I like it and it got alot inside, he talked like a comic too
salam professor, this comment is not on this artcile, but on the whole blog, i like the way you do things and i like the picture with the Petronas Twin Towers behind you ! I have seen them last summer as i visited my uncle there, but you look greater than the two
Sorry for not hiding my identity ... but should not harm you. Other picture are not less wow ...
sorr, i said "for not hiding" while I meant "for hiding" ...
Also, you are bigger than the Big Tree of Waikiki
come on ... this is too much, I mean no one is bigger than that tree.
Now, regarding teh Petronas Twin Towers, are saying if I stayed in Kuala Lumpur, they would have changed the name to Triplet Towers instead of Twin Towers ... But I can harldy stand for few hours !
see ? you know now what i like about you professor ? i wish I could address you with your name rather ..., i would be a bad girl then
So, you are so hot, I mean I have just posted a reply for you "SHE", Thanks anyway, you can call me Dr. here but anything you deem ok in yourself. wish you luck ...
do you mean that this man's love story (you call it success story?) is fake ? or he made it up ? just asking, because it is my first time I hear about him
No, there might be some truth to it, but might have been augmented to impress people ... I mean it love based business ... you understand what I am sayin ?
Are you saying that love is a merchandise ?
Maybe, love has alwyas been a merchandise to so many .... is that strange ?
Good morning professor, I was so happy to see logged on the learning system that early ! the Fajr has only started, and this is just another reason why I ....
If you dont mind dr., I have always wondered what the formula on the top graphics mean ! is it something that has to do with science and engineering ?
I'm afraid you are not teh same "she" as I feel a difference in ten style. Anyway, that formula is sort of private; I mean it is not to be disclosed as means something only to me. I dont think it is worth your wonder
Mubarak,the new style
thanks and welcome
NO dr., it is me ... I have wriiten all teh "she"'s signed stuff, but if that was true, what are you exactly afraid of ? is having two a problem ?
OK, it makes no difference actually ... I assume it was a bad guess, and there is nothing to be afraid of, it just the Engsish style of expressing wonder
i like that too dr., but you seem to be a bit angry ! are you ? sorry if I ever caused you any of that ... have a nice day
why should I ?
i dont mean it dr., I am just afriad of being a burden ... and possibly that is why ?
WOW, this is truly a hell of a lesson. I am glad not to be part of that era
