My Culture

I'm from Somali the city of Mogadishu, The Somali people share a common language, Somali, and only a few people speak English, and most of the Somali people are Muslims. If I could compare a state in the Untied states it would be Texas because it's about the size of Texas, which is not big for a country. Our most recognized symbols are the camel, because it provides people in Somali transportation, milk, meat, and income.
Most people in Somali don't' own cars rather they travel by foot, camel, or buses, and only the wealthy or people with high income can only afford to buy a car. Life is Somali is not perfect, but what I love about there is the fresh, delicious food you get from the supermarket, and most the homes in Somali don't' have refrigerators in the house, so, people go to the grocery store to buy fresh foods that are not refrigerated.
In addition, during the rainy seasons, from April to June and from October to November, this supermarket, season provides plenty of water and grass refrigerators livestock, and that's the time of the year people who are in the food industries making their money the most. Most people in my country don't have good paying jobs. Men are the essential income providers in almost all the household families, and women are to stay home as house wives to cook, clean, and take care of their children.
In Somalia schools end around noon, so after that, parents send their children to religious programs to learn the Quran (The bible) religious practice is a very important matter in Somalia we have a strong attachment to our religion.
On the other hand, we are expressive people, in other words, We really love to gossip and talk about others, even if we don't know them it doesn't matter to us, it's just our nature that doesn't mean were rude. Our people are very friendly and open minded, we often meet people very quickly. Not to mention when we have a meeting or an appointment, we are 90 % late most of the time The Somali people even tend to speak very loud in public or on the phone, it's the same for them that's one way to recognize us. That's how we are and I love my people!
