Myself,

Ice cream - kankarar madara
Green peas - koren wake

The problem is there is no such things
in the Hausa culture, hence, no real
translation for them.

That's right bayya, Hhmm!

Well I just hope other languages will not keep creeping into the language
which will one day make it sound more english or arabic.
We have to find a way of giving names to new things honestly.

You know what i learned through the years is that if i eat a little bit more( like we used to do when we r little ;) ;)) i get really hungry even before it reaches mid-day so now what i do is take some light food not heavy, like oatmeal or tea or some fruits, and believe me i will be fine. You know something else try to get urself occupied with doing something it helps to get the day going fast, and also try not to think about food ;) ;). Good luck 2 u. I believe UK, US, and SAUDI r starting tomorrow Insha Allah.

Yeah, I was thinking of changing my 'sahur diet' to oatmeal. But fruits :o Anya kuwa. Fruits aids digestion, y'know. So won't what I eat get disgested fast-fast. A zo a shiga halin kaka-nikayi da rana ;D

Gaskiya kam da zafi. Its like the rain had somehow conspired with sun. It stopped for some days, and the sun had been out in full force since the last 4-5 days.
