Great posts from Sharon and Racz. You two must be good in Scrabble. I hope I can play with you one day.

[racz_jay25]

Glad to hear that. I'm really a Scrabble addict and plays quite well. Most of my peers had been to the World Championship and I almost made it also some years ago had I not been over excited in my last qualifying games. Bahrain is actually very active in Scrabble competitions in the Middle East. What about there in Morocco, any organised Scrabble group?

This post is very useful.

It's a date then and that should be ten years from now when I finally go home for good to our dear Philippines. Aren't you goin to ask the time and place? hahaha...I wish it will be in Casablanca where a kiss is still a kiss.

Seriously how are you doing with your teaching job? I understand it could be difficult teaching English among Arabs. I should know because I've been talking to Filipino English teachers here.

Sorry for a late reply. Yeah it's a date for us coffeers to have some word game. Oh, ten years from now? I believe you'll have vacation before that but if you want sooner, you're welcome here in Morocco anytime. We're just 45-minute drive from Casablanca and I can accomodate you in here. :D

Fortunately, my students aren't locals so talking/teaching to them isn't really a problem. Their native language is English.
