Anyway rant over!

The first words of Arabic I learned were
in-shallah - 'if God wills it' or 'maybe it will; maybe it won't'.
As in, "we'll have your internet installed in a couple of days ...
in-shallah". Which means you'll be doing well if you get online in under a month.
Unfortunately, this isn't Switzerland. But nor are the prices and nor is the weather.
