Gringos, foreigners and aliens here

Well, this is the place for anyone who isn't a IATA to say hello, bug us or just ask for some information.

what's up my Brazilian addicts ? i heard there was an "Arab" trend not long ago in your lovely sunny country , is it true ? i also heard there are a lot of Lebanese people out there , is this true too ?

I could swear I had replied to this thread one hour ago, but anyway (that's what happens when you have way too many browsers opened )

Yeah, our main TV station broadcasted a soap opeara that was filmed in Morocco, so we all got to know the culture, the people, and obviously, it becamse very popular here We had some arab influence because of the immigration (I've got 1/16th Syrian or Lebanese blood myself ), then it's not really surprising that our greatest fast-food chaing (Habib's) is famous because of its esfihas (it's way better than McDonalds).

Hehe, by the way, so far I'm the only Brazilian TA here, all the others are from Portugal or they learned portuguese as a 2nd language. I've got to pm those lazy arses to come here more often

hrmm....some people consider me panamanian, but others call me gringo, which in all reality i dont really care, but its funny, because im not...really, i dont think i have a nationality, but if i where to choose one it would be panamanian i suppose, since i have lived here all my life, and i love the place.... i have an american citizenship, but i dont consider myself to be to american at all, but since i speak english better than any other language i tend to be stereotyped as an american, ...so, ..i guess im just a fuckup or a hybrid, depending on your choice of wording ...i speak alot of spanish in my opinion.., but my grammar has usually given me trouble, and i understand spanish almost perfectly..i can write it alright, but i guess its mostly just grammar that has plagued me for the past 18 years of my life... ( i live outside of the city, so i never got to practice to much, and its kind of developed into a traumatic experience im sure miss_e can tell you how stupid i sound !! hah, well i dont think i sound that stupid..but she's a bitch (hahaha!) so she will probably say i do) .

I'm so waiting for her reply to this thread

Posted by ftnb on Nov-06-2002 03:46:

bleh bleh, lets see....how well do i know you lee, what would you reply to what i just said about you above, first of all... you know that im joking, but you wont tolerate that from me, so you will either end up doing one of two things, or both perhaps:

1.) make some little condescending remark to make me feel bad, like you always 'try' to do, but never seem to quite ...get there.

2.) try to make me look bad by saying a whole bunch of crap in spanish, that you know ill understand, but youll say it anyways for the benifit of the shits n' giggles of this 'embassy' hah... either way, i dont really care... because in the end i know you dont mean it either

now..if you dont say anything, i will be truly surprised!

ps: mazaa.. if you havnt noticed, miss_e and i know each other personaly, not via internet.

I know it (I remember you once posted a pic and said she was there somewhere), so I concluded you guys must've seen each other at least once in your lives That's why I laughed when I saw your post

For some weird reasons, foreigners come here a lot more often than the IATA's so most questions here were hardly been anwsered. Therefore, I'm closing this thread and I suggest gringos, foreigners and aliens to open threads when having a doubt, because for some obscure reason, it's a lot easier to get your answer this way

I'm not deleting this thread in respect of all the people who posted here before
