Sympathy
Although I believe this lady is going to fail across the board, one has to be sympathetic. Having run across the blog, it appears to be a rather too typical story of Western woman falling for Maghrebine who convinces her to move to his home city without fundamental realistic thought.
Of course, the blog may not entirely reflect coping skills, etc., but certainly in my years in MENA I have seen a lot of these stories, with the woman not having the language or cultural skills and being thrown in on a sink or swim basis. Much the worse when said couple is trying to be entrepreneurial. Well, random blogs run across, and I am certain the owner would not be happy w such comments, but it gave me pause. Bloody glad I am not thrown into business in places I haven't the language basics, I know from experience it makes me quite cranky.
