Today I had one of my favorite delights - speaking to someone in Arabic, and seriously confusing them.
Anti arabi? Tahky arabi suria...keef? Anti min wayn...leh, wayn fa3lan?
"You? Blonde girl with blue eyes...speak Syrian Arabic? ...But...how? Where are you from? No, where are you really from?"
I love breaking apart people's preconceived notions; I love putting some unexpected texture into the world.
On that note, thoughts and prayers are with the Syrian people.
