Yeah I attended Sh Mustafe muxaadaro. Mashallah the turnout was unbelievable. Masjid Al Huda is the largest masjid in Garowe (second biggest is prolly Xaaji Cali) but it was so packed ppl were sitting on ground outside to listen.

I've been to Garoowe, Galkaayo, Xamar, Galdogob, and Galbeed to visit some relatives. Wanted to go Bosaaso first ofc but i cba with the heat kkkk, soon tho inshallah.

Not really tbh they just assume every diaspora is hooyo mataalo. They don't make jokes about your language skills (or lack thereof) to be mean, usually its a conversation starter.

How many foreigners have you seen so far?

A lot actually. There's a small community of Yemenis, Syrians, Pakistanis in Garowe and Xamar too.

what do you eat there

Regular somali food, but some places are better than others. Its always the small lowkey spots that have the most banging food.

I seen Galdogob which isn't a very famous town but the people there seemed friendly and the Puntland govt did a good amount of development there so that was cool.

I would say 8/10. People seem to care about the community quite a lot in Garowe. In Xamar its more of a dog-eat-dog vibe but still nice.

You need a very small basic grasp to get by ie. how to order at a makhayaad, getting a bajaaj, etc.

@Odkac WRLD how long are you out there for?

Lucky you.

Make sure you go Bosaaso before the summer months. Now THAT is what I call heat.

I went there in July a few years back and the first few days were tough due to the weather. Loved the city though and I can't wait to go back.
