I'd love to go to other countries. But somehow now, I don't think I'll ever like I've really been there, unless I live there. To live there means, to work or study there. Which means that you'll need to travel from your dwelling place to your place of work/study with other locals, perhaps to also get groceries for your own consumption. The longer the period the better, but even 1 week of doing that, is enough to have a glimpse of the lives of the locals.
Travelling to a place to eat out all the time and only visit tourist attractions - no longer means having been to a country, for me.
I would love to learn and explore the interesting and beautiful countries of :
1. ..say Egypt perhaps, to learn Arabic - maybe 3-6 months.
2. Korea during autumn/winter, learn Korean 1-2 months. (yes, ok i recently watched Korean dramas)
3. Spain - learn Spanish 1-2 months.
I think that's all for now - the dream. Will it ever come true?
If Allah have written it for me I guess. Insyaa Allah. Aamiin.
My only criteria is the place where I stay has a clean running toilet and a clean bed.
p.s. I'm suddenly reminded of the time when I was in Osaka. I was quite depressed when I first arrived, because I had to leave my young kids to work there for a week. The hotel room was so small. I decided to go down to the supermarket and get me some beautiful flowers to place in my hotel room. It actually cheered me up a bit. *Tip.

So if you are visiting East Caost you newed to study the starge Malay used there.Otherwise, why bother, these states only offer rain and flood and certainly no proper toilets. See I say in my recent posting.
In a hurry I made so many errors ;
need, not 'newed'
strange, not 'starge'
See what I say, not'See I say'
That is what the long driving in the rain and flood has done to an old man's faculty in writing and spelling!
Hee.. it's ok pakcik. I figured them out except "starge" :p
Hope Allah has been keeping you & wife in good health.
Assalaamu'alaikum..
For Arabic, maybe you can looking into www.bayyinah.tv (",)
Waalaikumsalam wr wb,
Hope you're in the best of iman and health!
:D I've actually subscribed to the channel and learning slowly.. sometimes in hiatus.
I'm still lacking a real teacher to ask immediate questions when I'm in doubt.
Insyaa Allah I can learn online - but it's still so different to be 'forced' to learn it everyday and be surrounded by the language everyday.
Still insyaa Allah.. May Allah make it easy.
Thank you.
