Street lights, new buildings, and the city is alive with more people on the streets than I can remember. Is it a Ramadan thing, Alphow? Influx of people on summer holidays?

Heading out into the city for dinner

Haha nah I meant quite literally my ayeeyo who lives in Hargeisa, the most important relative I have here and the main person I came to see. I've actually never been to Sanaag, maybe next time

Nuune, I can't see the image you posted dee, it just appears as a broken link. Saalax;970462 wrote: Safferz You in Hargeysa? Lucky you. Ramadan Kariim. Ramadan kariim walaal, yes I just got here yesterday afternoon after about a month in Ethiopia. Thought I'd take a few days to visit my ayeyo and relatives, as far as they're considered it's khasab if I'm so close

Waad mahadsantahay huuno, and it's not a snub dee, my reasons are genuine and I certainly will take you up on the offer next time I'd like to go back to Jijiga this weekend if possible, but relatives may push me into staying a full week. But still some stuff to do in the kilil and my trip is coming to an end soon, scheduled to fly out on August 10

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Aww next summer when I'm here longer I'll take you up on that, maybe I'll start off with a visit to SL before heading to Ethiopia so I'm not here during Ramadan

LoooL Nah, I only got here this afternoon and I doubt I'll be able to see him or any other non-relatives I know here this trip, since my time is short and I have a lot of family here that have plans for me. But I'm back each year, maybe I'll see this Alpha character next time

Don't make me dig up the post where you refused to pick me up :mad: I'm at my ayeeyo's place for a few days, but I probably won't do a whole lot besides make the mandatory rounds to see family members and take advantage of having internet access (and running water, a hot shower, electricity after midnight, not having to walk outside with a flashlight to use the toilet, etc etc). Then it's back to kilil 5 for my last two weeks

Alpha Blondy;970280 wrote: afur was very basic. 5/10. I'd also give my afur a 5/10, and I'm being generous because I'm glad to be in H-Town. I wasn't expecting the tuulos in kilil 5 to outdo caasimada

In hindsight probably not the best decision since I'm going to have to do that again to re-enter, since I don't have any documentation of ever having left Ethiopia and entered Somaliland. Good to be back in SL

Avoid the little white buses, especially if the driver say's we driving at night. ILLEGAL and all high fools. Otherwise I pray you'r enjoying Harar, please tell me you went to Shiekh Abdar's place and met the Somali sufi order there. Best people. I took the little white buses, and sat squished at the front between the driver and another man, so I had a wonderful view of the cliffs we'd roll off as the driver sped down the mountain. I'm afraid I didn't get to see Sheikh Abdar's place, I didn't spend nearly as much time in Harar as I should have, but I'll be back next year and each year since Harar is where a lot of important archives are located for the region.
