OdaySomali Posted February 14, 2012 When I was there I fell in love with this city. The weather is simply mesmorising, there is this permanent light breeze that is very soothing and gives this city an aura of tranquility. It is also a relatively large city that has a unique character of having a 'metropolis' feel to it whilst maintaining a semblance of 'country' comfort. Waking up to the noise and hustle and bustle of Hargeisa and going to bed late at night with the city still roaring, full of energy - in that respect it reminded me of Dubai, the 24/7 city. Hargeysaay, waa inoo mustaqbalka ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blessed Posted March 1, 2012 Watch it Mr. Burco boodhkeedii wuu dagay. LOL. I do agree, the hustle and madness are Hargaisa's charm. Just loved doing simple things like going to the suuq, waa meel qosol iyo xaraabo aad ka dhargaysid. Burco and Berbera were quieter in comparison but have to say Berbera got my heart, just loved the mellow nature of Berbera city and it's inhabitants, coastal Somalis are made of a different matter, ma istidhi?... that's where I place my mustaqbal.

BOB Posted March 2, 2012 For some reason I've always been 'in love' with Berbera. Now I haven't even seen a picture of the city and yet I can see myself settling there and going to the beach for a walk every evening while I watch the disappearance of the sun below the horizon! Oooh Kismayo, my beloved Kismayo...please forgive me if I never manage to see you again. Peace, Love & Unity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faarah22 Posted March 2, 2012 what an ugly third world town ( you can't call this a city, huge slum in all but name). there does not seem to be any definite sense of order or structure about this place, but rather mish mash of dwellings here and there erected at fancy and without any proper planning. then there is sheer monstrousness of the buildings themselves, why put tiles on facades, somalis it seems have a congenital love for the hideous.

Archdemos Posted March 11, 2012 Feeling like i should just drop everything and get on the first flight out of here after watching these videos. Berbera has incredible light its as everything is in HD, and the sky is to die for. Tired of the concrete jungle:( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abu-Salman Posted March 15, 2012 Archmedos, isn't that first video of rain and 2 girls in Hargeysa from Jigjiga Yar neighborhood (near the roads, down the hill)? The author of that youtube video even filmed Arabsiyo outside Hargeysa, a kind of resort town and a "famillial hometown" of mine. Let's hope it does not turn into a "concrete jungle" indeed and the construction extravagance & environmental degradation are controlled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
