BTW, you're just like my aunt (mum's sis.), she's a Palestinian-Jordanian, born in Kuwait & married to a Tunisian, she's currently in (safaqes/Tunisia) & her name is "Ghada". You might meet her one time inshallah. :) Salam dear,

Hopefully soon enough I'll come to visit. Nader, I miss you all so much wallah ya Nader. Thanks for dropping by. UmZayd, of course your countrymen and women are treating me right, Tunisians are nice people and I love them. I hope you're not feeling so lonely. I loved the kiftaji with suma', I ADORE both, and if it were up to me I'd add suma' to every little thing, but my husband isn't much friends with this particular spice ;) But will try your cross-recipe for sure, sounds yummy! Jimbo, lol, very nice one there! Thanks for putting a smile on my face. Oranginaaa, thanks for the beautiful words my friend, you're such a sweet tender person yourself and I love it when I hear your news from MMM, and know that you let nothing defeat you and doing all well abroad. Hope you'll always be that strong and happy inshallah. Diana, lol, I know it sounds weird, but when you're away for a long time, and know that the possibility of ever living back where you used to, is almost not there, then you'll miss not only the accent but everything you used to take for granted when you were living there... I'd love to hear your accent, each person have their own touch on the accent that makes it really special :) Rebecca, what can I say other than we are lucky to have you. I mean to have this grin towards Arabs, menas you consider yourself one of us, this is a very warm feeling no one can ever force or buy, and we're glad to have this feeling from you. Sleeplessjojo, lol, I know what you mean, and this is what I think of everytime I throw a smile to some Arab I don't know. But one can't really help this urge to identify one's self and show off. It's really this strangely amazing way of communication!! thanks for the comment :) Quwaider, I'm so happy with your comment. Believe me what happened to you, happens to me sometimes when I'm visiting Amman. As you perfectly said: الانسان دائما بحن لاصله مهما ابتعد عنه I hope you'll be a happy person even if you were away from your real home... Roba, thanks dear. ana

I used to do that initially back in the States but stopped because I got weird stares and realized (in a harsh wake up type of call way) that just because someone speaks your language, does not mean that they are friendly...
