Hi there I need to collect a lot of data on Somalia and I do not know anything about the place! I heard you are the expert! Can you help me please? 
 I'll do my best to help you! I can tell you Somalia includes several islands and has been inhabited since at least Paleolithic times. 
 OK thats a long history! Can we please start with Geography facts about the islands? 
 Sure! The Jubba and Shabele originate in the Ethiopian Highlands and are Somalia's only two permanent rivers. 
 I see! How is the landscape and the weather? 
 Xeric grasslands and shrublands are found along the coast implying dry conditions even in coastal areas. 
 So it is hot and dry! Not my kind of weather! Do most of the population live in a certain area? 
 I don't have that exact information, but I can tell you about 24% of the population in urban areas and 54% in rural areas live on less than 1 US dollar a day. 
 Can you even imagine a dollar a day? Wow! Can you please tell me some facts about the culture? 
 Yes, I agree that is not a lot of extra spending money. So, settlements were enclosed by large stone walls like the Wargaade Wall, forming courtyards within. 
 Ok that sounds amazing looking! Can you tell me a bit more about the culture? 
 Sure, houses built of dressed stone are similar to ancient Egyptian dwellings. 
 I bet they look great! Anything else about the culture? 
 I know this may be hard to believe, but Somalis serve dinner as late as 9 pm! 
 OMG I couldnt wait that long! That is very interesting! When I went to Spain they were eating at 10:00 pm!!! Thank you for all your information! You have been very helpful!1 
 You are very welcome and enjoy your early dinner this evening!
