Mona was born in Sudan and has written about her experiences of moving to UK and how she found the landscape ‘fascinating’ because it was so ‘green and rainy’ – she even liked the grey skies. A lot of the British people in the Relay workshop found this strange because the idea of reliably hot weather sounds gloriously appealing. Then Mona told us about the Haboobs that happen in Sudan.
A Haboob is a swirling sandstorm that engulfs everything in its path and looks absolutely terrifying. You can see for yourself how scary it is from this video Mona found on YouTube.
