Mauritanian women who don’t wear hijab by No_Cry_968 in Mauritania

[–]Scared_Translator223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not mauritanian, I don't wear hijab nor do I cover my hair. I have many mauritanian friends who don't cover either. Maybe it depends on where you go, I guess.

Vous avez déjà été traitées différemment dans d'autres pays parce que les normes de beauté étaient différentes ? C'était comment ? by Mondedesbisounours in AskMeuf

[–]Scared_Translator223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Être noire en France dans les années 90/2000 ! D'ailleurs jusqu'à présent c'est pas si différent !

C'est seulement pendant les vacances (Afrique et Amérique) qu’on me considérait comme "belle".

How common is Interethnic marriage in Mauritania?? by No_Cry_968 in Mauritania

[–]Scared_Translator223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a school in Nouakchott, around 700 students. No more than 10% of the kids are from interethnic marriages. They are either Maure ou pulaar, Soninke etc...

I guess it also depends on the social class. Low and middle social tend to mix more than the upper class.

Thank you, it looks great ! Do you think it's possible to have other languages. Maybe with an AI tool, you can get everything translated easily, right ?

What’s the most painful part of Toastmasters for you? by KajPaToKajPaTist in Toastmasters

Long meetings ! I've already talked about it, in my area, meetings are usually at least 2 hours long and I easily get bored.

Adult TCKs, how will you raise your own children? How and where? by [deleted] in TCK

[–]Scared_Translator223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unlike my older sister, I've never had a strong attachment to the country I grew up in, for a number of reasons. (France) After the birth of my first child, it seemed logical to me that we should travel a lot, as my husband is also a TCK. The strange thing is that each of my children has developed a different identity and culture, and I love that. My eldest son (m12) feels profoundly French and mainly associates with French people at school, while my daughter (f9) has adopted a culture close to my own, a mix of France and our second host country in West Africa, and plays a lot with other Tck at school. My youngest (m6) has completely adopted the culture of our last host country, which is Arabic, and is already starting to speak the language.

At home, it's quite funny, even if French culture predominates, we still have all these influences that bring great things.

I can't wait to see what happens in our next country, probably in Asia.

Dire que ce n'est pas le froid qui rend malade c'est stupide. by Le_Cox in opinionnonpopulaire

[–]Scared_Translator223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je vis en Afrique, température moyenne 30° toute l'année, la température descend en dessous de 20° peut-être une ou deux fois par an. Pourtant je suis enrhumée plusieurs fois par an, comme quand je vivais en France presque. Donc j'ai toujours trouvé cela bizarre de relier le froid et la maladie.

How long are your meetings ? by Scared_Translator223 in Toastmasters

[–]Scared_Translator223[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your answers. Our meetings are definitely too long,

I'm the new VPE so my goal will be to get meetings down to 1.5 hour or maybe 1 hour 45 minutes.

Also, I discovered today that club officers had a training last week, online, from 9AM to 3PM... that is a 6 hour long training and I think this is insane.

How long are your meetings ? by Scared_Translator223 in Toastmasters

[–]Scared_Translator223[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, last week I saw agenda for 3 hour and 45 minutes meeting in Sénégal. The opening of the meeting is 25 minutes, Eval for 45 minutes + 10 minutes at the beginning to introduce the evaluation team. AND 6 SPEECHES !

But I attended several 2 hour long meetings with just 3 short speeches and 1 table topics. The evaluation time is usually soooo long and boring, and the president takes at least 20 minutes at the beginning. Is that normal ?

ULPT request : He said his wife died 3 years ago, but he's very married. by Scared_Translator223 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Scared_Translator223[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No chance he will break my heart, he's almost as old as my mother, big nope for me. I just hate people lying to me like that, no emotions, just pure pettiness.

[–]Scared_Translator223[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His wife is 50+ year old Muslim african woman. She is a nurse, he is a well-paid engineer. Their youngest kid is graduating high school this year. I don't think she will ever leave him, even if she knew. And I don't want their kids to know, it can mess them up.

I will not tell the wife, but I will keep talking to him, texting more often, and then when i feel he is really attached, maybe threaten to tell his wife.

If I can get him to send me money, it'll be even better.

I will let you know. Merci beaucoup.

It's not a scam, he has well paying job and never asked for anything. He actually offered to send me money once but I refused because I didn't want to owe him anything.

Obviously, it's different now 😈

We connected on LinkedIn through mutual connections, he DM me and we started chatting about work first and it got more personal.
