This is really a great idea, I’ve always wondered about some kind of way that would afford me a way to express my feelings, vision, and aspirations while living outside my native country. There is so much to be said about longing, about my triumphs and fiascos. I must admit that I was sleeping at the switch for the past month and a half and this post woke me up. Good job guys and three cheers from me.The people that we left behind just don’t how we live & they would never know how exactly we feel as expatriates.

guys,
this is a wonderful idea. good luck to all of you. I hope I can join you too. I have been in the states for 10 years, but I still long to Amman’s streets, Zarqa’s smell, Aqaba’s heat, and petras’ thrill. I still miss elweibdeh’s buildings, el balad’s sooq, el sweifieh’s outings, and …

All,
I have created a new portal for all the expats and communities in Puerto Rico.
I would appreciate if you could add http://www.globalpuertorico.com to your list of sites.

Telmo

Hi everybody there. This is a good idea to have such a nice forum for exchaning ideas and feelings. You have riased a good question abouit ethenicity and identity. I think some guys may not find any difficulty in identifying themselves as Arabs but this may be a problem for our people in the Sudan. I sincerely want to know your opinion: How do you rate the Sudani? Are they Arabs or Africans? or Africans with Arabic culture?
