I'm going to be here until April, May or June, I'm not too sure yet. But I think I'm here til Easter no matter what, although I think we might be going to Egypt for Easter? I'll definitely get back to you on that though, that'd be neat to meet up in Aleppo! Do your parents work for ICARDA?
It would be! How long have you been over there? Have you been to Mosiac? (It was my favourite place to go hang out and have food and stuff. :P) And who's in your class at IISA? I probably know them!
Aha, this is kind of nuts, I'm sure I've at least heard of your dad too, thanks to social club or the hash or anything. My mom and stepdad are teachers at the school. I've only been here for a month or so, I graduated high school in Canada two years ago, and have been to university, but a change in plan has called for senior biology and chemistry, and I figured doing it in Syria might be a little more interesting. I'm taking grade 11 and 12 level courses, as well as grade 8 biology, so I'm not sure who you'll know, what graduating year would you have been? And when did you attend?
Haha, never mind! How's your Arabic? I never learned more than just what was necessary to get around in a taxi. :P
Isn't it? I was there in 2005-2006 for a year and a half. I would have been in the graduating class this year, so your classmates in the Year 12 courses? They'll know me. Can you tell me some of the names of the guys there? (Some might have gone or whatever since I've been there, so I'm not sure...)
So far my arabic is still very weak, there is no way I would attempt to take a taxi on my own, I don't even know how to tell someone where I live in English. I only know the people who are in the chemistry and biology class, because that's the only classes I take and I guess I'm kind of a hermit. So I know (and forgive the spelling...) Noor, Serg, and Armenian guys whose name I have now forgotten, Fouad, and Walid? And then Ingrid and Dahlia are the two girls I know.
Also you wouldn't happen to have been there when Rebecca was there? She's Canadian.
Haha, well, I only knew "left", "right" and "stop", hehe. But like, I managed to get around. Are you living in New Shahaba? Near the university?
Oh awesome! I know all of those people. Nour, Serge, (Hovan might be the Armenian?), Fouad, Dahlia and Walid. How cool! What about Omar, Ahmed, Sara? Say hello to them from Jess, yeah?
I was, we were best friends while I was there. She was really awesome.
haha, yes Hovan is the one whose name I'd forgotten. I'd been introduced to Omar, but other than him I haven't really met anyone other than the people in my classes. They've already kind of got their friends...
