Just go back two to three pages and you will see him praise Hargeisa's tranquillity during Ramadan;) I read his comment as a suggestion that the holy month is not appropriate for his unholy, predator intentions for when I get to Hargeisa, waan is af garanay dee agah.

Why is that?

Dire Dawa internet sucks too I'm afraid Alphow I may be heading to Hargeisa, the family over there won't let me leave without seeing them.... debating whether or not to switch my flight home to Berbera-Addis-Toronto instead of the current Jijiga-Addis leg I have so I can spend the last few days of Ramadan in SL.

Lawd hammercy, I'm ALIVE and currently taking a break from tuulo life, I'm in Harar today and heading to Dire sometime tomorrow. Wi-fi at this hotel isn't the best but at least I'm online again, there are flash internet sticks that people all over the kilil use but of course none of them are compatible with my Mac. I'll try and find one that works while I'm in Dire Dawa What the hell did I miss?

Alpha :D Every spot in Hargeisa has its pretensions, Summer Time is the one that bothers me the least. And yes, I'm very independent which is why I'm here dee, but I was expecting a warmer reception from our Alpha Blondy, should I decide to grace him with my presence in Hargeisa. But I will let you know if I'm in town Heading to my bus now... y'all will hear from me sometime next week

Agah, you can't even be a gentleman and pay for the car? And I wouldn't go to your house, I'd meet you for coffee at my favourite spot Summer Time, ee sida ula soco

Alpha Blondy;962095 wrote: NO! its $7. can you afford that? I don't need a ride from a peasant like you anyway :mad: A kilil shanaad government vehicle will drive me to the border, and a SL government vehicle will pick me up and take me to Hargeisa, ee sida ula soco.

Alpha Blondy;962073 wrote: its Dhagax Buur, ma garatay? :cool: hows the research coming along, inabti? you got stomach upset yet? just in case. waa iga taalo. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL After spending most of my Somaliland trip throwing up because I went without any meds or vaccines, I made sure I got EVERY shot and took every pill in existence before I left Toronto, so I haven't been sick once so far I haven't done any serious work yet, just networking and getting all the things/clearances I need in order while I'm in Jijiga, but I will start interviews next week inshaAllah. How's Hargeisa inabti? If I get bored and tuulo life gets to me, I may just head over for a few days

I'm heading to Degeh Bur in the morning... I wasn't able to get an internet stick today since the place that sells them closed early, so I'm going to be offline for about a week I guess that's okay, I'm supposed to be working anyway lol

Like, no matter how much ya'll are apart, when ya'll meet each other, it feels like it was just yesterday when ya'll were kicking. Sure. I live in a different country from my best friends, but we talk every day and I spend time with them when I'm in town.

I kinda love Jijiga.

I took my first bajaj/auto-rickshaw today lol

I'm in Jijiga now, will post photos shortly.

Little Mogadishu, Addis Ababa... I saw the real Somali embassy too, Alpha And it's off to kililka shanaad in 8 hours, inshaAllah. I'm told I can get an internet stick when I'm in Jijiga that will work rurally, so I should be back online within a few days

Argh it is almost 3:30pm and I'm STILL HERE waiting for relatives to pick me up, what a waste of a day :mad: I was ready to head out for the Piazza area at noon when they called me to say they're coming in the early afternoon, and I've been waiting since.

Wadani;961139 wrote: Do women deserve their God given and natural rights such as most of those mentioned above by others? Ofcourse they do. But should the natural order of of things among Somalis be turned on it's head to mimic the athiestic and morally bankrupt feminist social experiment of the West? Hell no, unless we want rampant teen pregnancies, divorce rates above 70%, men reduced to boys due to loss of agency, and professional women in their 30's and 40's looking for marriage without any luck as men refuse to be castrated by masculinized women already well past their prime, who did as they pleased with who ever they pleased during their 20's thanks to sexual liberation. These are just some of the effects of western feminism. So be careful what u people wish for. Reeyo, by equal do u mean there are no physical, mental and emotional differences between men and women? Because that's how I understand the term equal, hence my reservations. You're more intelligent than this.

Thanks for the info nuune, I'm looking forward to my time in the Somali kilil Alpha Blondy;961206 wrote: ^ LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL you chew khat? you're alright, you know. i like. i like very much. i've learnt so much about your personality, ma istidhi? i insist we chew together in my house when you come to Hargeisa. :p:p LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL...... You're falling in love with me, it's making me uncomfortable dee And no I can't chew with you, out of respect for ayeyo and my gossip-y relatives I must behave like a proper Somali girl when I'm in town loool. So my relatives here have found me, I was hoping to go out on my own today but I am now an unwilling qadho guest and some cousins are coming by to pick me up. People watching again in the lobby until they show up, it is.

And why aren't you more bothered by the fact I was with sitting on the floor with a bunch of Amhara men chewing qat? lmao Alpha... anyway I should get ready and head out so I can be back in the evening, I have to be at the airport for my flight to Jijiga at 6am tomorrow.
