Know your culture: part 1 (Bari VS Mudug)
Under Somali culture and customs, lies subcultures that can be as different as day and night.
My observations:
Mudug culture looks as if it has been heavily influenced by socialism (we) while Barians are alway (I) like in the capitalist world
In Galkacyo, you have neighbors with great smiles. In Bosaso, you will never know who lives next door to you except seeing them go in/out of the house.
In Galkacyo people fight constantly but have the courage to reconcile. In Bosaso ppl don't get into fights but when they do the conflict will last forever.
In Mudug, a total stranger can come to you and start asking you questions. In Bari, the term "don't talk to strangers" works perfectly.
Galkacyo ppl look very happy - Bosaso: not so.
Galkacyo: poor (like socialist countries) Bosaso rich (typical capitalist city)

Re: Know your culture: part 1 (Bari VS Mudug)

Re: Know your culture: part 1 (Bari VS Mudug)
hyper if u r privacy conscious person, Bosaso can accommodate you. In Galkacyo they will ask you "qoloma tahay" and if u hesitate the next question may be "are you midgaan" why are you hiding your tribe.. lol

Re: Know your culture: part 1 (Bari VS Mudug)
hyper lol@the guy
lol - warta ask them where they or their parents were born and u'll be surprised. You'll hear a lot of Mogadishu or Kismayo. I don't think 20k people lived in Bari (the largest province) before 1995.
lol@about the hard way - lol noo lakin some folks around here take jokes seriously... lol

Re: Know your culture: part 1 (Bari VS Mudug)
Its a bit like comparing New York (bari) to Texas (Mudug).

Re: Know your culture: part 1 (Bari VS Mudug)
For some reason I already knew that. Coastal people have a different culture than those in the interior. I bet the reer Bari are thousand times more stingy/tight fisted than the reer gaalkacyo as well.
