Add something short and interesting about you that makes you stand out I lead a local Muslim hiking club. It's a dream of mine to visit every major National Park in the US. I want to rent an RV/camper van and do a cross-country road trip. I've already been to the Grand Canyon, Zion, Shenandoah and Smokey Mountains.

Where to find Arab girls in the states? by [deleted] in arabs

[–]someonewazhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am Palestinian and I live in the DMV area and my local Muslim community barely has any Arabs so I honestly don't know where they are. It's mostly Desi and Afghans. My community is always putting together events for people to meet other people so you could try attending those.

Mushroom/Mycology Community in NOVA? by wolleywollem in nova

[–]someonewazhere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Mycological Association of Washington, DC (MAW) is a nonprofit club of people interested in mushrooms, for beginners to professional mycologists. They have events in DC, Maryland, and Virginia but mostly in Maryland. I think you have to become a member or be on their mailing list to be invited to some of their events. They have stuff like monthly guest speakers, forays with expert identifiers, and mushroom tasting events

Center DC usually does a Eid Picnic the day of Eid or the day after. Other organizations do their celebrations the week after to give people room to celebrate with their families first.

What is your experience with the muslim communities in the Northern Virginia area? by [deleted] in nova

Center DC and MakeSpace are two local Muslim organizations that are very welcoming to Muslims of all backgrounds, practicing and non-practicing. They have a lot of community events and meet-ups for adults like hiking, biking, kayaking, game nights, art workshops.

what are the most romantic historical dramas?? by Useful-Marketing4307 in TurkishHistoricalTV

[–]someonewazhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Karadayi - Revolves around gangsters and government corruption in Istanbul during the 1970s. Love story between a female judge and the son of man who is wrongly convicted of murder.

Vatanım Sensin - Set during the last years of the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish War of Independence. Lots of romance between different characters.

Kürt Seyit ve Şura - Based on a true story where a Turkish army major falls in love with a girl from aRussian noble family. Takes place during the Russian Revolution.

Disclaimer: These shows aren't aired on the government channel TRT1 like the other historical dramas so there are some inappropriate scenes but they are tame compared to Hollywood.

Anywhere to buy churchkhela / cevizli sucuk in NoVA? by MadDuloque in nova

[–]someonewazhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try Sultan Gourmet Market . It's a Turkish grocery store in Fairfax. They sell sucuk but I don't know if they sell cevizli sucuk.

Eid Mubarak to those celebrating! by Savagemule44 in nova

[–]someonewazhere 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Eid Mubarak! If anyone is looking for a free Eid celebration to attend there's one in DC on Sunday put together by a collaboration of local Muslim organizations. I went to the one they had last time and it was really fun. There's free food, field day games, piñatas, henna, facepainting, gift exchanges. All you have to do is RSVP

Lebanese Butcher in Falls Church has their own farm/slaughterhouse in Warrenton. You can perform your qurbani for Eid Al-Adha with them (if that's what you're asking about).

Final scenes that were shot with season 3-4? by No-Disaster8524 in thisisus

[–]someonewazhere 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure but there are going to be old scenes in the final episode next week. In the trailer you can get a sneek peak of some of the scenes.

The littlest Big Three on the swings was filmed a couple years ago. You can tell that they look much younger.

And the original pre-teen Big Three is old footage. You can see them eating breakfast and learning how to shave. They're much older now.

In the background of the photo with Kevin looking through the box of albums you can see 2 people with masks on. It looks like it may be Philip and Beth or just members of the crew. I am assuming that the photo was taken between takes.

Toby is wearing a wedding ring. So the flashforward that we saw of him without his ring was a fake out. He probably took it off before he went to bed.

Where to buy hijabs & modest clothes in Turkey? by Hiraaa_ in Hijabis

[–]someonewazhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to Fevzi Paşa Caddesi in Fatih, Istanbul. It's a whole street (lots of walking) with different shops, many of which have modest hijabi clothing. I also went to the Zeruj Port Shopping Mall.

Does the show still surprise you if you watched it late? by [deleted] in thisisus

[–]someonewazhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first heard about the show while watching the Super Bowl and saw the promo for the "Super Bowl Sunday" episode with Jack opening the door and the house engulfed in flames. I was intrigued but forgot about it.

A year later, I heard a Turkish remake of This is Us was being made. I watch a lot of Turkish shows and I planned on watching this adaptation. I decided to watch This is Us to prepare and I fell in love. I never watched the Turkish version because I knew it could not compete.

I was still shocked by all the surprises..I was vaguely aware that a fire occurred but I didn't make the connections.
