LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!
when my wife saw "samira" she said "WHAATT??? IS THIS GUY JOKING?!" loooool.... samira is a really corny name around here
... we're thinking of jenna (it's actually an arabic name too! it means she brings good fortune or something like that)... or lyan
and if it's a boy... i wanted to call him rashid (not rasheed
) but due to technical difficulties (wife doesn't want to
)... we've settled for the typical "Aziz"
LOL... but it's not final yet...
we'll wait til the little suicide bomber comes and see if a name pops up
as for the "mansion"...LOL! this country is so messed up and the population is so out of control (people having 5-6 kids is the norm) that they consider a 3700 sqft house very small... everyone i know kept telling me "man, that's too small... it's like a shack... you'll regret it later"... a small house here is 5000 sqft... medium sized is 7500 sq ft... and a good sized house is 12,000 sqft and over.
to explain how bad the situation is in this country when it comes to housing (less than 40% are home owners), building houses and shit with contractors, and our general outlook on what a house should be... i can write a whole fucking book. it sucks... it sucks really bad.
