Paragon, walee sheekaa kaa dambeysay. Waxba aduunka ka ma ogid! Tolku (read sub-sub clan) waa qaar jooga down under iyo New Zealand (my current home). Waa dad weli is jecel, oo isasoo bariidiya maalin walba. War waxaan ku idhi casuumad iyo shukaansi ayaan ka bixi waayey intaan joogeyba. I am getting more proposals than I can shake a stick at. Aduunyo. Koley sooryada wax waan kuu soo dirayaa markey dhacdo ee ha warwarin.

Ibti, ma ka heshay? Ha ha ha. Waxaan joogaa magaalo yar oo soomalidu english badan ku hadlin, markaa afkii wuu ii adkaadey dee. Farancab, Val weykaa weyntahay ma ogid? Fufu - LoL @ the clip!

This test proves nothing. (*She says as she puts down the bottle of bubble bath*) Wlc back, Rooble.

Wedding parties are both great and sinful. Not sure how best to balance it out.

^ Thanks. I only realised I could post photos straight from my FB tonight...what a slowie!

Amiin. May Allah forgive him and open the gates of Janna for him. Samir iyo imaan, Che.

Haye, Nugaal baad u daadageysaa miyaa JB? Bal soo indha indhee oo noo soo sheeg waxa ka jira magaaladaa. Safar salaaama, I'A.

Dabshid, ninkii ugu dambeys ma la dilay? Oops! I never watched it to the end. Laakiin it was fairly gory, wasn't it? All the blood and the butchers knife gave me heart palpitations!

Haven't been to Brazil yet, but like Torres, it's on my list for early next year I'A. Along with some other S.A countries. I'm going to Malaysia next Month, haduu Alla idmo, but I can tell you about Thailand. Thailand was great. I had a fantastic time there...the food is to die for, the people are very used to foreigners and are friendly although not as friendly as neighbouring countries and the tourism infrastructure is well and truly developed. Bangkok is a gorgeous, steamy and bustling city, with a really sleazy feel in some parts. I didn't get prepositioned but the guys in my group were approached all the time for all sorts of things ranging from drugs to ping-pong shows (no, there is no actual ping-pong played at these shows)to God knows what else. So if you are male, you gotta take it in stride. Don't be taken in by the gorgeous Thai senoritas, especially if they are sporting an Adam's Apple. The accomodation is wide-ranging, from $10 a night for a bug-infested closet in Khao San Road to $50+ a night for a gorgeous, classy room in a boutique hotel in Sukhumvit area (I opted for the latter) and everything in-between. All the activities you want to partake in can be arranged through travel agents and tour operators at a relatively cheap price. The shopping is out of this world, although it's not as cheap as Vietnam or as unique as Laos. I went mad the last few days of my trip and bought a whole new wordrobe from Zara and Mango (yup, they also have all the lovely shops we have in the UK). But, and this is a big but, it can be pricey. Transportation is easy, cheap and plentiful. Taxis, tuktuks, motorcycles, bikes, trains and buses. Taxis are best during the day as they are air-conditioned and about the same price as a tuk tuk if you are going around the city. Tuktuks are great for a wild whizz around the popular night destinations. Motos are good for very short hops. I got one to my hotel the first night I got to Bangkok but it was only a couple of yards. I couldn't find the damn hotel and I was really tired of my backpack, so I asked some oranged-jacketed guys congregating around the tip of the Soi (lane) I needed if they knew the location of the hotel. After a fruitless bout of trying to speak to each other in sign-language, we came to an agreement and I got a ride for myself and one for my backpack for the last few yards. The best 20Baht I ever spent! A mask is always helpful when taking tuktuks and motos as the traffic exhaust and pollutions clogs up the city. Trains and buses are best for long-haul trips down to the islands or up to the north. The Thai sleeper train is extremely comfy. I was shocked at how comfy. I shared a second-class cabin with another girl and around 9pm, the train workers came around and set up the beds for us, bringing with them clean packaged linen, a little blanket and pillow. Each cabin divided into an upper cot and a lower one, with little curtains for privacy. Each carriage was locked at 10.30pm and reopened at 5am. I slept like a log that night, walaahi I never slept so well before in my life! Something about the comfy bedding and the rocking motion of the train. Of course there were a few occasions where the train jerked like mad and then came to a screeching halt but that just added to the adventure. I was happy, no delirious!, to be thrown around in my little cot. We arrived the next morning, fresh and bright-eyed! I wish the UK had such trains! Islands like Phukhet and Ko Samui among others, are totally gorgeous but utterly exposed and exploited. Too many flappy, pale holiday-makers soaking up the sun and drinking till their faces fall off. Good for snorkeling, diving and the like though. Northern Thailand has more adventurous activities. I went to Chiang Mai and it was really nice. Quieter and more villagy compared to Bangkok. Here you can partake in highland tribe treks, elephant riding and training, cooking and cycling and visiting the numerous temples around the city. Not to mention the great Night Market and Food Court. I bought a few sarongs and sandals for less than $20 and I still felt cheated, although I haggled as hard as I could! That's the beauty and fun of Asian markets, I guess. All in all, Thailand is well developed, absolutely beautiful and caters to every taste. I loved it. I'm sure you will too if you go, I'A. Whatever you want to do, you will be able to do it there. As I was planning to write something about my travels at the behest of a couple of SOLERS, you may consider this my first report! Cambodia will be next, I'A (don't worry, I will open a thread for that one, I'A). Some photos: The Floating Market in Bangkok. An impromptu water parade at Khao San Road, Bangkok. Cruising along the canals of Bangkok, with Wat Pho temple in the distance. Monks praying at Doi Suthep Temple, Chiang Mai Rong Khun Temple, also known as the White Temple, in Chiang Rai, Thailand.

Congrats KK, hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy and delivery, I'A.

Haven't seen it yet. I saw a Somali 'horror' the other day, called 'Araweelo'. Anyone seen it?

Shukaansi galore.

So Governor Arnie is in the cast? Ha ha ha. I would be surprised if it comes to fruition. PS: Dolph Lundgren is the man!

Who knows? May Allah make the country's future bright.
