Middle East and North Africa	Summer in Morocco	I would never go back in summer unless it was absolutely necessary. I didn't tolerate the heat (or mosquitos) well! Even in Marrakech, although drier ~ still pretty freakin hot ! I think we traveled on the newer trains because they were very comfortable. One advantage to the heat, it suppressed my appetite! Whenever I tried to fix my hair or apply makeup, it would just melt right off	Henna Rose	Female	Morocco	2008-04-11 19:55:00

Middle East and North Africa	Sunday.....	LOL ! Hababi always calls me early, is surprised that I am still sleeping, and I remind him again of the time change! Has anyone seen, "The Band's Visit," by Israeli filmmaker Eran Kolirin? I think it's been out already, but it's just now premiering at my theatre that shows Indie films. It sounds real interesting !

Middle East and North Africa	Arabic Slang ~ similar to USA?	I often wonder what the origins are behind some of our crazy sayings and slang ! "Water under the bridge" makes sense, but why is a cow (or mackerel or cannoli) holy? "A bird in the hand..." i never quite understood that one and how about, "Blood from a turnip?"	Henna Rose	Female	Morocco	2008-04-23 21:22:00
Middle East and North Africa	Arabic Slang ~ similar to USA?	Just curious as many of you were talking about slang being a whole other language in itself to learn by your SO's when they arrived ~ how does Arabic slang compare to ours ? i know we have some similar sayings and phrases, just wondering if it's as prevalent as in our culture ?

Middle East and North Africa	Sunday's Thread	QUOTE (Nagishkaw @ May 4 2008, 05:44 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow! So far, not a cloud in the sky...Since I can't go to church today, I think I will go outside and just bask in the sunshine. I need vitamin D. I actually just started taking Vit D-3 supplements~ they are supposed to help with energy levels (and heart health) unless you live where there is sun all the time, most of us are deficient. I had a blood test done~ my levels were really low !	Henna Rose	Female	Morocco	2008-05-04 11:07:00
Middle East and North Africa	Not Bad New, I Think?	QUOTE (AlHayatZween @ Apr 29 2008, 01:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi all, Sorry, i'm officially clogging up the forum. My last question before i sign off: They didn't ask for the Affadavit of Support at Habibi's interview? Is that weird? When does he submit it? And should i e-mail the consulate with this question? i'm afraid to rock the boat... Bonne nuit! hz Why does Casa require Affadavit of Support prior to CR-1 interview and not for K-1?	Henna Rose	Female	Morocco	2008-05-05 22:18:00
