Abdelilah's house and family

On Thursday night (end of the work week) I visited Abdelilah (the righteous Sudanese dude I share my office with) and his family. His brother's name is Lu'ai and his mother is Noor (transliteration!!).


Me, Noor and Lu'ai

We had strong sweet tea infused with fresh mint - probably the best I have ever had - and biscuits that reminded me of Arnott's Nices.

We talked about Sudan, Australia and Islam, and swapped English and Arabic words. It was a refreshing and eye-opening. Abdelilah and his family are extremely welcoming and gentle and I felt right at home.
