Arabian nights


Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
More often than not
Are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways



Best Picture EVER... deep thoughts by laurel: Do camels kiss like they spit?
Ashley:I remember when I kissed a camel.
Austen: *drool, I wish I wish I was that camel guh.
Jess: This is the nastiest food I've ever had!
Addie: Is she really kissing a camel?
Audryn: Those fools.
I have been immersed in this culture more than I have in any other land, why?... Provided opportunities… I was able to help cook a traditional arabic meal, go to an amazing forum where singers from the call to prayer sang lines from the Qur’an , and then Arabic dancing. The end result a greater understanding and appreciation.

We asked our Islam professor what makes someone an Arab. He said anyone who speaks the language and is proud to be an Arab. I then asked if I could be an Arab, and he replied, “YES, Welcome!” So basically living in an area with Arabs for about 40 days, learning the language, and being proud=an Arab (that easy). 
My new name will be Larababa.
