Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted March 30, 2013 Stoic, some cheap hotels might be infected with bedbugs, so be careful, though. In Islii, bedbugs have a nickname: Shabaab. It is pretty much hard to get rid them off, from hotels to homes to schools to dugsis to marfishes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOIC Posted March 30, 2013 MM.haha@Shabab..don't let Maadey ever hear us call the Shababs as bedbugs...I will not be that dumb to rent a dungeon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted March 30, 2013 It is not dungeon, but even decent ones are infected with them. Bedbugs invaded Islii en masse in late 2007, early 2008. Dadkii Xabashada dagaaladooda kasoo cararay ayaa keenay ayee dhahaan Reer Islii. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is Reer Islii's primarily interests as a gift: Smart mobile phones (particularly iPhone5 or Samsung Galaxy s4), digital camera, latest laptops, iPad or its likes, quality kareemooyin (lotion) and shaambo (shampoo). Don't bother with dated mobile phones. They want the latest, the latest that you don't even know exist or had seen. They know pretty well the mobile models. What the hell? haha... i am trying to go in August insha'allah, i'm gonna have to step up my gift giving :eek: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted March 31, 2013 Diyaarad rakaab ah ayaa aado Mandheera. I don't know how frequent, though. Gaarisa diyaarad ma tagto, not a public one that I know of. Basaskii 'scary' ahaa ku sugaayo should one want to go to Gaarisa, though they upgraded having a 'first class' seats that costs more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted March 31, 2013 Mar walba raaci jiray basaska townka aado. The number #9 buses waa caan with their ear-splitting, body-shaking music on. I don't know why Soomaalida didn't invest as much in those buses as Xabashada. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOIC Posted March 31, 2013 Carafaat, back in 1997 there was bluebird aviation (owned by Somalis) that used to go to Mandera and Wajir.I don't know if they still around.Garissa is close to Nairobi I doubt there is any benefit businesswise to start a route there... MM, Sakajaamiintaa matatu walii maa music qaracaan..Their music used to be defening.I know it was hip and impresionable when you are young, but damn that thing kills your ears...Poliska igaa waraan..Aniiga iyo iyaagaa waxbaa nakalaa haysta markaan basaborr Mareykaan tusoww afkoothaana kucayoo..lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
