Mish Inglisia, arabia fukt

So I realized I haven't really written in this as much I planned on it but here's a little update.

I ran into my old home stay family on Tuesday in the medina. It was really nice. I was so afraid that they might not remember me but they totally did. I had tea with them and my new room mate at the home stay on Wednesday. At first only the mom was home which I thought would be weird because we didn't talk too much last time I was here. She only speaks Arabic and since I was just learning my alphabet last time communication was a little hard. But we actually talked and it was really nice. I didn't realize how good of a homestay I had last time.

I have started going to this little cafe in the medina. It is called cafe clock. It is a really cozy place that is run by a British couple. It's a little pricey but totally worth it to go and study. They have decent juice. I'm not much of a juice drinking but my friend Sybille has started me on a mini juice kick. I go out for juice at least once a day now. It has mildly replaced my caffeine addiction.

So my family has had a death in the family and we have had a house full of people all week. It is interesting to see the whole process even though the circumstances aren't the best. We met an uncle who is down the street from my family and has homestay kids as well. He is amazing. Last night a bunch of students met him at a nearby cafe and he only let us speak in arabic. I was shocked that I could say as much as I can in Arabic. Makes me feel like I am finally grasping the language a little bit.

So if I repeat stories or anything in my blog you'll just have to deal. I totally don't remember what I have already written and I don't plan on going back and rereading entries.
