I read thepost about Libya. I used to live in Tripoli from 1965 till 1975. I got lovely memories about tripoli and my childhood. I left Libya at the age of 10.

Can anyone tell me if Manshia school still exist? It used to be a private English school located in Sidi Al masry.

Is ICe cream Hiti still their? they used to serve ice cream and pizza. The shop was located on Hiti street.

I do remember Georgan Poply (Gorgy) named later.

Please just send me an email about that. hothateg@yahoo.com
