For those who don’t know, Siwa is a Berber city in the Sahara Desert. It’s isolated, over 350 km from any other civilazations/cities. The Berbers have lived there for over a thousand years. I’m mixed Berber and much of my family live there.
During WWII, Afrika Korps took over Siwa 3 times. They ***** our women, ate our food and destroy our sacred pool by bathing in it. My grandfather was German (not by my grandmother’s choice). But it seems that no one knows that. While I was working Germany as a language teacher, none of my students knew about Siwa so I imagine they don’t put it in history books. The Germans occupied Siwa three different times and maybe 1% of the world knows that. Why?
Me, I know we are Amazigh. But most people know as Berbers. Probably not even a fourth of the world knows that the word Amazigh means. I don’t care for the word Berber either. I don’t live in Germany and I don’t **** Germans. It was just a job. I just asked why they would leave that out of their history books. Not everyone in Siwa is Muslim. I’m not and neither is my family. Also Algeria isn’t Siwa.
OMG this place is interesting. it looks like a european city within the USA!
There is no need for a car, everything is very compact you can walk to any store, the architecture on buildings is like victorian style, omg so pretty very hilly and tall trees, life style is nice. I **** most of america becuz before, I was in texas and most of the american cities look like endless big giant suburbs like L.A or houston etc that look the same and you need a car to get anywhere, everything is spread way to f”ck apart, its a very slow home style living place (people hang out most in there houses/yards)
but there is alot of crazy people on the street in sanfrancisco, lots of people who talk tothem selves lol.
I would never NEVER live anywhere else in the USA, the USA ***** except for maybe san francisco, its beautiful, the trees are so tall and neighborhoods and its ust different from the rest of the boring USA.
So anyone been to sanfrancisco?
