[@mazinabogodah727]

As a Sudanese I can relate soo bad, my gave me 1kg lunchboxes everyday, I went to Arabic school, I get 98% on a test my parents go ballistic and wake me at 7am. Plus your Arabic is on point and can understand some of it.

[@jessicaespar21]

I grew up Lebanese in the U.S. and this is hilarious. Exactly how my family is and then some!

Yup! Same here.

[@lolalulu3620]

OMG THE PART ABOUT FEEDING KIDS!! how CUTE!!

[@wary533]

I'm lebanese and when I was young I lived in Montreal. Bruh those kids who brought lunchables as lunch tho, and then mama makes you tabouleh, kibbeh, 15 sandwiches and 12 fruits with some ayraan. Wallah those kids lmao.

[@fadel3569]

WarySuperBlox soooo true😂

[@sibaltraboulsi8470]

Sooo true 😂😂

[@galaxfieddiys9481]

WarySuperBlox their weird ayraan is key to lunch

[@simplysailor4976]

Allah yse3edon man ahaha hope they don't starve

[@ahmadbrkam4350]

You liked those aryaan huh Btw ayraan means 2 dicks or yogurt mixed with water salt

[@victoriacoura8834]

I live in a very small state in Brazil and there's this HUGE lebanese community. There are other arab descendant groups here (syrian and iraqian mostly), but the lebanese are the most numerous. When I was in school at least half of my classmates had arab last names. And there was a kid that gave us parts of his lunch because his grandmother cooked too much. But I'm also guessing that's a latino trait hahahah

[@sumerianking4942]

Victoria Coura What area in Brazil is that?

[@victoriacoura8834]

Sumerian King my state is called Espírito Santo. The Arab descendants live mostly in the metropolitan area and the Italian and Pomeranian descendants live on the mountains :)

[@Frank78507]

Well some probably do share altought were i live we never did barely had money we were the ones who would get lunch from other people haha probably.

[@Mr.ZooYYa]

Portuguese brazilian and lebanese people get along here in canada

[@IMASTERgraal]

The mother of my dad was born in Brazil in santa maria and lived her childhood there but she and her parents cane back to lebanon .funny fact i have the same family name as you " cura " in lebanon we spell it " khouri " and some people spell it "kura " also

I'm originally Armenian from Syria I speak 4 languages .. Armenian, Arabic, English and Turkish and finally live in Australia!! Imagine me speaking 4 languages with 4 different classmates in my institute. like, When I speak Armenian with the Armenian friend, the other ones will stare at me asking: What happened to you suddenly, you seem like a different foreign person now !!! I answer them this one and only , no other than it : you cant blame me, i lived in 4 different cultures in one country.. and I look different in each language

[@rockermerthsm]

Varteny Baljian How do you get when speaking turkish? Haha

[@rockermerthsm]

Your last name is honey man lol

[@arshasunshine4993]

Hahaha i know 😂 I speak Turkish but i understand more than i speak.. Bal is honey but jian has no meaning.

[@arshasunshine4993]

And also Most of people when they se me speakig turkish they will think im Turkish and start asking me where do i live in Turkey? I cant help but laugh so hard..

[@StevieinSF]

IAN & YAN ending in Armenian last names translates to "Son Of".

[@Omar-pf5zj]

I'm half Spanish and half Algerian and I live in the UK and ur Lebanese vids are relatable to my Algerian side and I love supporting cultural diversity. I love ur vids. Btw I found you when I was in an Internet cafe in Algeria. Lol wifi is rare in this country

[@Omar-pf5zj]

Because I'm half Algerian and half Spanish I have to know spanish, Arabic, french and berber (because I'm an Algerian berber) but all I know is English

[@lenaa7344]

OMG I CAN RELATE TO EVERYTHING!! I am khaleeji but grew up in England only I went to Arabic school on sundays instead of after school

Tunisians are a mix of Phoenecians and Berbers, two great culture... and then Islam came and ruined it for everyone... Still Tunisians are as close to the Lebanese as it gets in northern Africa.

[@heart5993]

I love you Mark. I am syrian watching your videos for years now. Keep up the good work

Love this so much I can relate so much

[@phoenixblitz24]

My parents moved from being travelling missionaries to staying in the UK for the last twelve years. I remember when we first arrived, my parents were adjusting the the culture, working terrible jobs that were below their qualifications, getting used to the hierarchical system used by the Brits, and with a Malaysian mother and an Australian-British father, there was so much for them both to get used to. I'm in my early twenties now, and I've never ceased to wonder at how they managed to stay sane and keep providing for us through it all. My parents are without any doubt a pair of superheroes.

[@yarajamal1782]

[@abeyshe1021]

I recently found your videos . And as an immigrant mum (not Lebanese) most of the things you said are relatable. And yes it's hard for parents to adjust to a new country themselves and do a job and take care of their kids. Glad you mentioned that. Your videos are really good!

I am a Egyptian but brought up in London the Arabic lessons at the local mosque that was true .

[@814325]

I visited to Lebanon last July and it was amazing. I went with some Lebanese friends and I got to know their families. So much love and so much fighting, too. But I was treated as a king, everybody was extremely kind and polite. As I don't speak Arabic there was always somebody that spoke English, French or even Greek to talk to me. People in my homeland, Brazil, have an everlasting gratitude to hard working people from Lebanon that helped built our nation.
