In America I looked forward to Ramadan"<BR/><BR/><BR/> You should have lived in Tripoli in the 70's because you would have been glad Ramadan came. After 9PM Tripoli was deserted, the only ones who were roaming around the town were the university students either going to the movies or to spend the night at a friend's house studying and etc....... You had to know every street in Tripoli to avoid check points at night by police or military police. Ramadan was the only month Libyans could stay late at night with out the harassment of the police.<BR/><BR/> Ramadan in US is like an American spending the Christmas season in Saudia Arabia, Many Arabs in US take their vacations in Ramadan to go back home and to enjoy the month. The only draw back of Ramadan is like having Thanksgiving dinner every night, besides nothing gets done in the Arab world during Ramadan.<BR/><BR/> Next Ramadan, spend it in Buenos Aires, as it will be winter, plus you break your fasting at 5 " I assume" there will be rain which you do miss and you might learn how to ski with ur husband and kids. To top it there is a huge Arab community there also the British community who speak your own language I assume unless they have their own dialect. The whole family will feel at home with no use of AC.<BR/><BR/> As for your appointment with hair dresser switch to Hamam where you come out a new person instead. <BR/><BR/> By the time your house is completed, your kids will be long gone and you will have Empty Nest Syndrome :-) <BR/><BR/> Did I read Khadija Teri Top Ten List or was it Dsvid Letterman Top Ten List.<BR/><BR/> Nice post with a lot of sense of humour.<BR/><BR/>MusicLoverUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075812793510354888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-71609237387429287042007-08-22T16:01:00.000-04:002007-08-22T16:01:00.000-04:00I know my family and I were looking forward to Ram...I know my family and I were looking forward to Ramadan in Libya!

To see the places I remember from my childhood so beautifully captured made me teary-eyed. But I know I wouldn't be happy living in Libya now, because I am too deeply a "modern American." Must have my luxuries! Still, it's a testimony to Libya's beauty that it so captured the heart of a small Air Force brat!Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192940012195826602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-53009750984855864282007-08-19T11:32:00.000-04:002007-08-19T11:32:00.000-04:00hows the house 'progress' coming along teri? *duck...hows the house 'progress' coming along teri? <BR/><BR/>*ducks a flying knife* :P<BR/><BR/>Hang in there sis.. personally..
