Back To Libya


Just a few days left , and I am going back to Libya , It has been the best 6 months in my life here with my sister's family in Canada ...

I had the chance to meet the sweet baby Leen , watch her growing for 2 and a half months , to see her first smile , her first crying ...

I had the chance to spend great time with my dear sis , and her nice husband , who they were so nice to me and never let me feel I am far away from home ...

I had the chance to see the nice city Toronto ,Enjoy the civilization, the fresh air , the happy nice and polite people , and for a moment to forget all the Qibli and the hard life in Libya , the sad , angry and depressed faces in the street , the مجاري that u can see in every street in Benghazi , the people that talk so laud in the street (بوجاا يا بوجاااا) , yeah all that crap ! ...

I had the chance to see the snow for the first time in my life , touch it , and for a moment to forget all the dust and Qibli i sow in Libya ..

I had the chance ..... to be in Canada for 6 months .

And now , going back to Libya , missing Mum and dad and my other sis and bro , and Floppy of course ...

So just to remember , Libya , Libyan , and life in Libya , here are some lines , about us , Libyan ppl :

خروف عيد كندي


خروف العيد الكندي ، يآتيك مذبوحا ، مقطعا بعنايه ، خالي من الدم و الشحم و الجلد ، نظيفا ، الي بيتك في صندوق نظيف ، بقطع جميله جاهزه للتتبيل و الشوي و لذيذ الطعم ايضا ، و مع هذا كله لازال ارخص من الخروف الليبي
فما اجمل الحياه لو كان كل شي بالبساطه هذه

الغرق ثلجا ...



Before...
After....














اثار سنجاب

آصابت عاصفه ثلجيه مدينه تورونتو لمده يومان ، و حين انتهت ، غرق كل شي في الثلج ، ذهبت اليوم لاري المنظر في شارع يونغ
young street
و هو يعد اطول شارع في العالم ، و قد كان كل شي غارق في البياض ، كان المشي صعبا فآي عدم توازن يعرضك للسقوط و ان سالني احد عن شعوري في المشي في كل هذا الثلج ، ساقول انه بالضبط ان تسبح في صحن كبير ملئ بكريم الشانتييه ...
اذاعو في الاخبار انه احتاجهم 5 ملايين لتنظيف كل هذا الثلج بعد عاصفه البارحه في تورونتو ، و انه ياخذ مليون يوميا لتنظيف الثلج في مدينه تورونتو فقط ، و حين سمعت ذلك الرقم الكبير ، قلت لنفسي لربما كان امرا جيدا بعد كل شئ ان لا يسقط الثلج في ليبيا ، فقد كنا سنغرق فيه حتي قدوم الصيف !
و كل عام و انتم بخير بمناسبه عيد الاضحي ، بالنسبه لي سيكون خروفا كنديا هذا العام ، و علي فكره الخروف الكندي ارخص بكثير من الخروف الليبي هذا العام ، في حين يشهد السوق الليبي هذا العام ارتفاع رهيب في سعر الخرفان ، تشهد كندا سعرا معتلا فيهم رغم كل هذا الثلج ، فسبحان الله ، ربما توجه الليبين في السنوات القادمه الي استيراد خرفان من الخارج في العيد ان استمر الحال هكذا
