...And while meeting dignitaries from Mogadisho, use your hand and talk while your your mouth is full of spaghetti. Spray some of the spaghetti with your mouth on them as you talk. Don't forget to spit on the sink as many times as you possibly can. Anything outside this is considered lack of etiquette.

I noticed that at Al Yusra,and the pilau is put on a tray and served with ripe bananas.6 guys eat from the same tray and must shout.

some people do not wash hands well after doing the biggest job in smallest room.Now tray and ripe bananas? Na hizi shida za h20 nbo? ngai. "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

On another occasion, some two dudes at an opposite table were brought two bowls, with water and lemons ...usually used to dip the hands into or something. They looked at the bowls puzzled, perhaps wondering the mode of water delivery. One took the lead, touched the bowl to his lips and drank. The other promptly followed. They even fished out the lemon slices and ate them. I had a hard time trying not to laugh out very loudly.  Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it

Kuuliza si ujinga.. I once went to an Italian restaurant, then the super hot ebony waitress brought me the menu, ehe everything was in Italian.. So i went for those foods with catchy names like "Chicken Balzaretti, Chicken Barzagli, Chicken Bonucci, Chicken Balotelli" my friend 30 minutes later, she brought me a plate of pepper with three peaces of meat. Sema kulia ukila.. Now i always ask!!! My folks told me that my very first word was 'billionaire'

You made my day!!!

I had a hard time trying not to laugh out very loudly. good one.Try also to avoid spoon for main meals.Just fork and knife good enough.Spoons bigger one for soup and smaller for deserts.
