Hello Kossacks, I have been on this site quite a long time but rarely write, just browse, however some of you may remember me writing about my Iraqi friend 2 years ago when I first found her as a pen pal and then more recently when I feared for her living in Baghdad and hadn't heard from her for a long while.
In June of 2006 she was finally able to come to America on a Fullbright scholarship and went first to Tucson, Ar. and then on to Kansas State in Lawrence, K. to study for her masters degree.
She is just getting used to this blogging thing, thus I thought an introduction from me would be most helpful in easing her way into the DK community.
She is as of today a member of DK with the name of 'sangreal79' and to share with you (with her permission) this diary she recently wrote on Booman Tribune about her experiences visiting the East Coast, notably, Baltimore, NY, and Washington DC.
I am sure you will find her as delightful as I have and enjoy her view of America as well as her excellent writing. By clicking on the link provided you can read some of her other writing.
