Is alphas thead the twitter for Somalis. Anyways alpha when I remember the name ill let ya know. Otherwise I may have to ask the guy I was with

After a long travel of attrition I have landed.

Lesson learnt from this travel. Always carry a caday ama rumay, the Somali version

I also ended up in a youth round table meeting of that sub sub clan. Kinda awkward...

For all I know alpha you could have been the arresting officer. Nothing disgusting dee, just an experience I had...

thanks haatu. How is garissa. Ill prob be asking you more questions as the fall approaches

Haatu I probably will be making a trip to the NFD sometime in the fall. Any places or citys/tuulos you recommend?

Of course I am aware their is nomadic life outside of the North and the advantages of staying with your family. .. perhaps there is an interest for Somalis to explore and establish relations outside of their zone of comfort... xaajii have you fell victim to your qurba joog identity and lost your Somali way... instead of welcoming with open arms and taking joy in my interest in your home area you push me away with your suspicious undertone. War naga tag the basic tenant of Somali miyi life as saxansaxo said is hospitality. You have showed me nothing but the opposite.

Freakin rough two days

hotel

lesson learnt. always carry a macawis in your carry on

Mada-gascar. Madagascar was coined by the British mongers who sailed to the great island due to the lack of fulfillment by their white wives. They sailed for months in pursuit of the black exotic creatures their fellow seaman always gossiped about upon returning from their travels. With divine intervention they ended up in an island not far from the Somali coast. The black woman too fierce for the white man they coined the island "Madam cast scars". The locals with their inability to pronounce the g sound and with their tenedancy to blend words gave the island the name Madagascar as they took great pride in their fierce dominant woman. At least thats how the story goes...
