    Welcome to Simply Discus Rabih. It seems like discus are available in most parts of the world, and l would love to see what they look like in your corner. Please share some pictures of your pair, as most of us would find that interesting. Good luck with your new project.
    We're here for a good time...not a long time

    Rabih, welcome. I got to visit Lebanon in 2006. Unfortunately during Hezbollah uprising. Such a surreal site. Post pics!

    hey Elliot Lebanon is a very beautiful country but sadly passing by huge economic crises . we dont have lots of hobbyists here but i would love to let it evolve as we see clubs and exhibitions and such things in other countries when at the same time hobbyists are very few here and hope i may raise it to a better level with your support and help guys. and i will post this afternoon pics of my pair that i am in love with . thank you for your reply.

    Absolutely it's a beautiful place! That's what made the scene so sad to see explosions. Met a lot of great folks. Would love to see pics of your pair!

    yes definitely i will share some pics but i'm still trying to figure out how to change the size of the pics so i could post them . and btw we don't have explosions here , that's the war in Syria our problems are mostly politically and economically wise . have a great day

    Hi Rabih, My brother lived with his Lebanese wife when I was just a kid. He taught at the American university and was a stringer for NBC news. He invited my parents and me to visit for three weeks. It was magnificent. He had a flat right on the sea. I went swimming and he took us skiing the same day. I know that he took us to see all the important sights but I remember the beautiful country and the perfect clear blue sea. Of course, this was back when there was peace.

    I'm interested to see your Discus as well. And I hope with all my heart that things get better in your country.
