He talks to everyone he meets about Dubai and Dubai's beach, food places, indian workers, supermarkets, roads sand. You want him to explode with rage? Tell him you had hummous for lunch or something. Quite frankly, we have much better (unspoilt) beaches, islands etc in Jabuuti etc and the food can not yet fully rival Dubai diversity but it's even fresher (Yemeni, Ethio or international). I always thought one can only be homesick vis-a-vis his family or childhood place and era as I do (J., then H. town and its area). PS JB the family was generous back then but dadku change, and "xasiid" in general barely connect (I'm envious at how the reer Galkaayo or even Burco stick together)...

He lived there for seven years and got used to the easy going style of the place (though he complained back then). Now he's in London (and soon to get used to his old life again) he'll start complaining about London. It's a fish thing.

Abu-Salman Posted September 18, 2012 JB ma aniga iga leedahay xasiid iyo xaasid kala saar oo jamhuuriya akhrisanay back in the 90s ma NG iyo akhyaarta qurbo kusoo kortay i mooday? waa inaad i xaal marisa, labatan xasiida sida tii nooga baxaysay in the rented villa next to madaxtooyada back in 97 He lived there for seven years and got used to the easy going style of the place (though he complained back then). Now he's in London (and soon to get used to his old life again) he'll start complaining about London. It's a fish thing. That's much more straightforward, not really homesickness; even so, going back to childhood place, family and longtime friends should be what matters no? Anyway, let our qurbojoog expand on my favorite and important theme of "homesickness" and nostalgia: where is home?
