I was laughing out loud at so many places - the aqua song (yeah I remember the band), the answer to how many rooms in your house, starting sentences with when I was your age ... (I'm starting to do that too ... alarming). And all the food just made me hungry. I really like the sound of those olives! Really enjoyed this.

One's right behind my school, and there are few around the area where I live. Since I live in the suburbs, these mosques are pretty small though. Sometimes, I can hear the faint cry of prayers, but you just get so used to it that most of the time, you don't realize it.
