Reflections
AT ebb time I wrote a few lines upon the shore..and gave them all my heart and all my soul..at tide time I returned to read what I had inscribed and found my ignorance upon the shore.."jubran khalil"

:: Alexander



I just had a meeting with a delegation from a russian-speaking nation.

Translator,speaking in arabic :  
Hello, my name is Alexander and I am the translator.

Me:                                          
My name is Salam and I am the architect.

Translator:                              
This is Alexander, from the Cultural Department...
and this is  Alexander from the Ministry of Culture...
and Alexander from the Financial Department!

Me:                                           
Hello, Nice to meet you..( Alexander)!

Alexander from Cultural Department,in russian, followed by Alexander the translator:
These are the things we need in the building ,these are the  approximate areas for each function, we want to do so and so,we want to build so and so...bla,bla,bla..end of meeting.                                                     


Translator, ( shouting out to man in street):

At least you had no worries about forgetting a name! Teehee. Maybe you should suggest some other fine Russian names to them for THEIR children? You know, like Mikhail or Josef or such...
