Al-watan or the homeland is a concept that has been troubling me for sometime. I was born in Syria and then moved with my parents to Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait to return to Syria where I lived for eight uninterrupted years. My mother is of Kurdish origin and my wife is an Arab Turkmen. I have been living for the past ten years in Chicago and now it feels like home. My troubles doubled. I have two homes, maybe more. I will blog about my homes, from my little family to the big world.

I am smiling. Lived in HOMS for about 10 months, left there in 1989. Saw this misspelling more than once....we called it a "Freudian slip".
