Noaman is going to the land again today. Apparently there is some glitch. This time however he will take Mohamed with him.

Noaman hits Mohamed on the leg and then he greets me “Hi.” Nataly refuses to acknowledge me and continues to text as if I am not even there.

another excerpt: We take his youngest son, Ahmad out to eat. We drive downtown and walk around. All three of us eat for about eight dollars.

another excerpt: Noaman doesn’t like our flat. The electric is cut at least two to three times a week at first. Lately it is every day. The city does that in order not to overload any circuits.

another excerpt I filled in: Noaman brings his bag of photos to show me. There aren’t many pictures of the children. Just mainly of him and his assortment of wives. He has six ex-wives. Yes! Six!
