Somalis & Hotels

[*Nobleman*]

slowly and slowly you are becoming gaalo and gaalo raac.
It is a dishonor for us to see a member of our familly staying in a hotel.

Noblemam, I know what you mean I use to have family members who had about 5 kids or more stay with us for months nearly a year - can you imagine sleeping in the living room for 6 months, and this was back in the late 90's.

Dijib, dont get me wrong I love family, extended, close, friends all of em. But some common courtesy wouldnt be to much to ask.

Cumar, glad i'm not alone, but mine goes back to the early 90's.

nobleman don't tell me that you rent hotel when you going outside london like birmingham.

Horta why would someone rent a hotel when they have friends and family in the city?
it is outside of common sense behaviour

Nah saxib, dont think i have ever stayed in a hotel in the UK. I'm talking about when i went to toronto and dubai.

unless you got somethin to hide

Usually your relatives get offended if you stay in a hotel.

If they are coming from Europe, it's Ok to have them borrow your car and cruise the city.

Last time, I had a cousin who was here for a Convention. He is a Biochemist and makes 10 grand a month, yet I had to welcome him in my house.
Living in a hotel and having your rental car won't provide the luxury of seeing your extended family reminiscing some good old times.

Gaalnimo maaha inaad ka xishooto baryo bani aadam oo aan Ilaahay kuu baahin

Ofcourse we have a lot to hide too..Your privacy is invaded here.. I can wear what I want when I am with my family..but when a bunch of strangers live in your home, you have to be wrapped up the whole day and night..

My principle is "Baahidaada iyo baryadaada waa la isla sugaa" I would never accept or expect someone to pay for me when I can. It is about dignity I love and I always pray to Allaah to make me the upper hand not the hand that is asking aka lower hand..

If someone is ineed I will be the first to find and bring home but I don't like people who are lying to themselves and saying "We are going for a vacation when what they really doing is imposing themselves to people that they are not even related to and expecting them to cook and clean after them...

lol
kambuli meyaana ka xishonayn inaa lagu yidhahdo war ti xunee kambuli magaladaydee ayaan tagayoo hotel baan seexdaye!

people would say: war gabadhoo martee xuma.

Kambuli,

I had someone visit me and I was not expecting him at all, he didn't make any hotel reservations and whenever I visited his city, he never offered to host me even once when I had to leave where I was staying. I took him to Starbucks and got him a hotel room at a discount rate & booked a car for him too which he paid for.

My rational was if he never offered to host me before why should I inconvenience myself

DjibSomali,

Dadku laba arrimood ayey isku khaldaan: Dalkeenii, qof waliba shaqo ma haysan, qof waliba lacag ma haysan, laakiin iminka dee qof walba kistiisa wuu haystaa...Ee maxaad u hungureyn qofka kale kistiisa?
Anigu koley cidna guryahooda ku cidhiidhiyi maayo Ceeb weeye waxaasi waa la xishoodaa...Qofkii soo martiya reerkayaga anigaa inta badan hawshu igu dhacdaa markaa, weji fiicanna waan ku soo dhoweeyaa, mana dhacayso in la iga eed sheegto..Laakiin dhaqanka xun baan ka hadlay...

A/W,

You did a great job Ha isku tashado ceeb miyaa

[Diyeeshaha_Tolka]

somalida reer magaalnimo ayey qalad ka fahmeen,,wax walbana inay gaalada kaga daydaan ayey isku dayayaan,,,aniga oo familkayga heli karo maxaa hotel iyo cidladiisa i geynaya. teeda kale weligeenba hal joodari ayaan wada saaxan jirnay maxaa hada is badalay..

[AbdiWahab252]

Kambuli,

I can't be bothered anymore. If its immediate family, yes, i will deal with it but someone who doesn't show that kind of hospitality to you, why bother.

[Sir-Luggoyo]

What is so inconveniencing about few nights of hosting a relation or a friend? It's not as if it's happening every other night.

AW, is this a Habartaa Gidir dhaqan waryaa?

[kambuli]

Somaalida qaarbaa jecel inay markasta dadka dawarsadaan.. Haddii la dhaho xoolihiina cunana cabaadaayo oo dadka ku sheegaayo gaalo iska yeel yeel..

Waar maalkiina cuna oo tuugsiga iska dhaafa Haddii aydaan shaqaysanina shaqaysta..Acuudu Bilaah

A/W,

I am with you on this one Saxan saxan ku gud saanan saan ku gud! It will take a long time but there will be a time people will respect themselves and have dignity
