Silver Spring, washington DC,

I live in a small city, called Breda. How is living in Washington?

Expensive but I like it, I don't like cold weather too but it's okay, it's very nice and I never get bored there.
How about you? how is life in Breda?

Kind of boring. Im glad that I study in a bigger city. more fun, you know. We also have cold weather here. Its always raining. Very depressing

I'm American

I have ever been in Breda in the past to visit my family(cousins), and it's true that this city is very bored, noone in the streets,always grey sky. I prefer the north of Holland called "Friesland", I spent 2 months there 10 years ago, and I keep a very very good "souvenir" of this period, landscapes are beautiful. Breda is near a big nuclear site?
Cranberry, could you please describe us more details concerning your life in Washington, how american peoples feel regarding arabs and muslims there? thanx

hi folks, very nice to see moroccans from everywhere, netherland, united states and london, so fun.

One of my bros said me that there is a moroccan street in London, with only people from northern Morocco yeahhhhh lol

Salam,


During my stay in the United States, it's true that people that I met felt more American than the other thing, it doesn't matter what country they're coming from. It's really something that I don't explain to myself because the mentality is so different in France.

I remember that a person become even excited, because I said that he was a South African.
It's very surprising. But I believe that it's necessary to live in US to understand them.

Ja goed, alhamdoulillah.! Ik hoop met jou ook. Grappig om nou ineens Nederlands te praten.
But I would also like to go there some day, inshaAllah, to see how everything is there.I also heard many times that everyone (ok, not EVERYONE) who came there as an immigrant, now feels american. I think that's weard, because I think that only when you're born there, you can feel totally American. I'm born in the Netherlands and I still don't feel Dutch for a 100%. may be it's because people don't see me as a Dutch girl, maybe it's me...I don't know.

The folks who talked about Detroit, u obviously watch too much TV. U'r acting like Americans who refuse to go to Morocco because they fear getting kidnapped or killed. Detroit is not Eminem, Detroit is not 8 Mile, I've been living here for many years. Of course, if u get urself in trouble u can get hurt. Detroit, the city, is somewhat unsafe but when u talk about Detroit, u have to talk about the 'Metro area' which is quite different and quite segregated. Arabs live in one place, blacks in another, whites in another, Iraqi Christians in another, and so on and so forth.

To the person who said something about Moroccans in Detroit, I think u have it confused with Arabs. Detroit has a tiny Moroccan population, very tiny, however it has one of the largest Middle Eastern populations outside the Middle East - NOT Moroccans, I'm talking about Iraqis, Lebanese, Syrians, Jordanians...etc.

Don't get me wrong, if u read the statisctics, it has one of the highest crime and murder rates in the country, but a lot of that happens in unsafe areas with the drug dealers and all that. Yla kounti dakhel souk rasek, mayediha feek had.

Good luck,

Detroit, Michigan breaking it down.

i live in chicago its a great city even though we had an havy winter this year
