[Martin]

Yeah, it's quite interesting to be the only Persian in the town.

Indeed.

For one thing when people ask about your nationality you can shape the story however you want, no dissenting opinions to compete with.

I'm afraid that's not good enough, I need proof.

I am the proof

 

[Martin]

No you don't. You need more than proof. Acceptance is an impossibility for your type.

My type? What is that supposed to mean? *hands on hips*

 

[Enron]

Atheists.


No I'm just messing with you. But I did grow up in a very diverse neighborhood in Houston, TX. The only kids I didn't know were the asians up the street.

I had a Pakistani friend when I was 6 or 7, that's all I can remember. Way too predictable, but then it was Oslo in the 80s.

There are many Paktistanis in Norway?

On another note I have a friend who is moving to Oslo in December. Will he like it?

 

[Martin]

Pakistanis and Vietnamese, two biggest immigrant groups. At least it used to be.

If you're going to go to Norway that's the place to go, no question about it.

Good to hear.

Good to hear.

So what are you doing about this whole immigration problem? Doing anything to get more immigrants to your city?

We get migrant workers seasonally. Other than that, it's not really a huge concern for me.

I don't quite follow your argument here. First you say people should not be forced out of their own country? Is that a way of saying that your family was? Because if not then you're saying that it was a choice, and a choice that was painful in some ways, but probably was done for a good reason, giving up something to have something else?

Why don't you ever understand me?

All I'm saying is that people shouldn't be put in a situation where they have to move. Move because you want a new adventure, you want to meet new people, or if you just don't like where you were living originally. Not because 'if I stay we will die/starve/have no outlook, etc.

 

[Preet]

moving to malaysia soon! anyone here from the country? any tips?

 

[Elvin]

Yeah, buy something against mosquitoes and prepare yourself for unbearable moisture. Oh wait you're from India? Nevermind, just enjoy the tropics

In other words, the place that you live should be precisely to your liking, wherever you happen to live. Great, I'd love to have that too, saves me the hassle. But that's the same as saying "we shouldn't be put in a situation where we have to buy players to have good players, whoever comes out of our youth academy should be all that we can possibly want out of a player".

I think you got me wrong there Martin, you asked "How many of our Juventuz friends would like to live in a town where there are no Persians or Pakistanis or immigrants of any kind?" and I said I would. I don't care if there is no Iranian living in the place I live, neither do I care about living in a place where no one talks in my native language. That sort of things doesn't matter to me at all. Here:

That's what you'd say at first. But with time, your smile would fulfill your face when you hear someone talking your native language.

Do you talk to those people? When you hear Lebanese do you start a conversation with them?

 

[Azzurri7]

Why not? If I'm sitting somewhere having my coffee lets say and some Lebanese dude is sitting right next to me I'd open up a conversation with him.

I think no matter where you live or how far you go, it would always make you happy to meet and speak to people that come and talk your native language. Maybe there are exceptions but speaking of myself, I love hanging out with my Lebanese friends more than the local friends. Though when I go back to Lebanon I can't wait to criticize every little thing in them but when I'm in Europe, States or anywhere they're the best thing to me

I've never done that. In fact most times I see Polish people I pretend not to see them, not a big fan.

Hearing Norwegian does make me smile as you said, but it's only happened a handful of times and I never talk to those people anyway.

That's interesting. There is no smile on my face or glow in my eyes if i see another indian outside. Probably because we are just bloody everywhere.

We are 4million in Lebanon
