I�m Fadi, good to meet� you. Yeah, you�re right. Fadi isn�t a typical� English name. That�s because my family is from� Lebanon. I was born there too, but I�ve lived in� London ever since I was a kid. Now I think of� myself as being both, Lebanese and English.� Mostly, I�m a Londoner. London is full of people� from all over the world so I fit in perfectly here.� What do I do? Well, ideally, I mean, if the world� was perfect, I wouldn�t do very much at all. Play� football� watch TV� play video games� hang� out with my friends. But unfortunately the world� isn�t perfect so I have to work. I work for our� family business. We�re suppliers to restaurants,� so we import foods from different parts of the� world, the Mediterranean and Middle East� mostly, and then sell them on to restaurants. It�s� ok, not my ideal job but, well it�s the family� business so I have to be part of it really.� I get to travel quite a bit for my job too, which is� ok. I wouldn�t like to be sitting in an office all� day.� I love London like I said, there�s loads going on,� people from everywhere, even if the weather� here is lousy. I�m 24 now. My mother keeps on� asking me when I�m going to get married. But� it�s not going to happen for a few years yet. I� think 24 is way too young to marry and besides,� there are too many beautiful girls in this city,� even if I�m not going out with any of them at the� moment.� What else, er� not much really. I like nice� clothes, night clubs, Arsenal football club, oh� and hanging out with the people at Tony�s Caf�.� ��������������������������������������������GOOD WORK�
