Troll, Shah and Sheeko

[Ibtisam]

^^Lucky you!!! Safe trip and beware of all the random guy wonders. Sheh will give you all the tips of how to get rid of them and where to go.

 

There are four people following me on twitter. I have not said anything since I created the account! Maxey rabaan tolow?

 

W/salam

[SeeKer]

lol @ twitter stalkers. Just bask in the fame hon.

 

I didn't know Sheh went to Turkey, as for guys I don't think I will have problems there lol. I usually have my face buried in a book or behind a camera plus I have a travel partner who ensures I keep to an itinerary so no chance of side trips

[Ibtisam]

Unless your travel partner is 6.2 man you WILL have guys problems. It is a MUST, goes with the experience.

 

Sheh has been everywhere.

[SeeKer]

Sounds like an adventure then! Speaking of unwarranted/unwanted attention I remember running across a website a few years back where women snapped photos of men who harassed them and wrote about the experience with details on where it happened. I thought it was innovative and smart.

 

Sounds like I should shoot Sheh a PM. Inshallah will do after Eid. Thanks

 

Edit: lnd version of Hollaback- women against street harrassment

[Ibtisam]

Works in the UK and western countries, but harrassment while trekking in no mans land wont help. In places like India and others all you will be doing is taking pictures (they will beg you to take their pictures and would think you want them if you took pictures) Lack of law enforcement. I remember once I was in a place called Chamundii and these guys started following me, so I went to a police offer, they stopped following me but asagii ya iga reeba afterwards!!! :eek:

 

No problems.

[cynical lady]

Women.

 

A law officer followed you? Ibti that sounds like the stuff of fantasy for many women. Lucky woman you are indeed.

 

Ist bad that am actually counting the days now?

 

Seeker- Turkey is a lovely place; you will love it + the hairy men that come with it.

[SeeKer]

ewwww @ hairy men! Yuuuuuk! CL share tips if you have been there

 

Ibti that sounds like a story for the books. I am off to get ready for work. Can't wait for tomorrow......my weekend starts!!

[Ibtisam]

CL only YOU would think being followed by a guy in ugly uniform (military) was fantasy/ lucky!!! :eek:

[Chocolate and Honey]

Hello! Who is being followed bisinke? OMG! I had the most shocking experience of my life the other day. Maka hadli karo, but it has changed my mind about a lot of things I thought Somalis didnt do.

[Ibtisam]

C&H, how are you> Are you still wasting away sis?

 

What happened? Bal share, I am still on that "but wa somali mode"

[N.O.R.F]

Eldest daughter: Ooh look, the airport.

Me: Yes. Shall we fly off somewhere?

ED: Sure

Me: Where shall we go?

ED: Erm, erm, lets go to Sheffield.

Me: Ok, what about London.

ED: No not London. It's always windy and rainy but Sheffield is always sunny.

 

 

Afur at an Afghani Restaurant. Should be interesting and heavy

[cynical lady]

Ibti- Military you say. Hubba hubaa!!! Lucky woman indeed.

 

C&H- what do you mean by “ things I thought Somalis didn’t do”? when did Somalis become special and immune to what other communities suffer from?

 

Norf- how much did you give her?

[Chocolate and Honey]

Hello Ibti, no I'm not wasting away. I took your advice and I started eatings bowls of fruit. Maya, Maya arintaas kamaba hadli karo. My friend who is from Canada who was with me on that day is convinced that it is a Minnesota thing, not a Somali thing.

 

CL,

Somalis are a different species in my mind. They ought to be studied, me thinks.

[Ibtisam]

Somali women was soliders!!
