Haneefah Posted December 3, 2008 ^I used to love Aaran, way better burgers than Fiyaat's (?). I went to that Egyptian school and we'd go there for lunch every day. I don't like to think about Xamar anymore though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gheelle.T Posted December 3, 2008 Val I still have good memory of most of places I used to go(by) wlhi. I remember the new Zoo, it was actually right next to Xoosh's compound and new Hotel. Can't remember what that Hotel was called though. I will get back and write some of the things in the good old days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nephissa Posted December 3, 2008 Ahhhh! I have a lot of fond memories of Xamar that if I wrote it all, I would have to find me a publisher. Ayways, here's one: Yaaweli, the video store. Omar Yaweli muxuu cartoni animati, totoo iyo bujis baanjar igu soo guri jiray. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabdi-casse Posted December 3, 2008 Although i've never been to xamar, I heard great things about it's beauty. However, anaga owrney meesha. We also didn't realise somalia wasn't only xamar, when one of the most beautiful natural landscapes were/are in sanaag region, so in that respect we took the rest of somalia for granted.

Buuxo Posted December 4, 2008 Unfortunately no. But I always hear my older sibling talk about the food,shopping,beaches & shaleemo goings. Kind of makes me go aah...if only it remained as peaceful & prosperous as it was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O'Lord, the best years of my life...Xassan Tiritoor, later replaced by Saciido Koofi...Teachers: Macalin Aamino - Gosh mexey caanabaraawe and qumbe naga gaday; Macalin Akiile (mean a$$ macalin, fooridiisa markaa jiirada ka maqalno inla'isku kaadiyo wax yar aanooga dhimanaan jirtay); Macalin Xiito (thnx to him, I am good at math now); Macalin Tiito (Alful Layl Waleyl uunooga sheekeyn jiray, mind you he was there to teach xisaab); Macalin Xeynuuq (he was like the youngest teacher, waxaa u maleysaa inuu xaflad usocdo suu isu soo labisi jiray, no wonder inee dhoocila ku wada daateen); **yaakale toloow**, aah Macalin Cali Dheere, Nuurkeey... **I remember taalada in lagu dagaal tami jiray after school...Schoolka dhexdiisa la isugu dhaaranaa, then after school it was on @taalada...I also remember in at the end of the year dad badan dagaal isbalansan jireen as well... :confused: Ar bas, inaa jilboodo wax yar aa iiga dhiman...

After salaadda laga imaaday oo lasoo jimceystay, Jalaato Jaangoow oo banaanka lagu gadaayo arkee, hal hal u gata, meel geed talaal hoostiisa ku neefsada.

Haneefah Posted December 4, 2008 Val, we may have been classmates. I remember a cute girl who'd always wear her hair in a ponytail; strangely enough, I don't remember how I wore my own hear Lol@duceysane. Hal baa ii jooga and another is on the way. KK, I have this hunch that you were one sharp bully. Like the girls who scared the heck outa me on my 1st day in a SOmali school; I remember running to mom and dad on that day and screaming "these kids are scary - they say bad words!I don't want to go back there!" and immediately, I was switched to the Carabi school Seriously though, even the so called macalimada baa ciyaalka aflagaadeyneysay with words that I had never been exposed to previously, what a system :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
