First of all, I apologize for writing this in english. this is only because I can write better in english then in french.
This message is for all the Djiboutiens as well as all the people who live in their home country.
As a Djboutien who lives in a foreign land and who has never been able to live in my home country I just want to say that I envy those who do. I live amonst people who don't share the same cultural beliefs, values, as well as in religion. These people who I live amongst do respect our differences as I do theirs. However, because we don't share the same similarities it is so much harder to not change. I forgot how to speak somalian, reade or write in somalian, how to speak french (because we converse in english at home). Also, I don't even know almost anything about my home country, the music, and the culture. How will I be able to teach my children about our tradition, and language about Djibouti if I don"t even know anything about it. I do make an effort to know about Djibouti and what not but it's not the same. Do you know how scary to just think about being buried in a foreign land instead of the land where my family was buried?
If you only knew how lucky you are.

I think that psycho is right the best thing to do is to go for holidays and stay as much as u can and learn as much as can too and believe me u will be surprised how easy it is. I know a lot of people who were in the same condition and now they know verything just because then went there.
