If your parents didn't swim to where you are now, what Diaspora would you like to be part of?

[x z]

They lived for six months in Milan (rich part of Italy), but then decided to go to Switzerland.

Depends where you and what you are into. Where in Germany did you go and what did you do there?

three cities, hamburg, berlin, and frankfurt. disliked all except berlin cause that had some interesting history, but still didnt like landscape and city that much, just the cultural sites

@Apollo if you are in Switzerland, which canton and what language do you speak?

I have some relatives in a German speaking canton and the German they speak is like from another planet. I heard Swiss German is nothing like standard German and very difficult to understand even for Germans from present day Germany and Austria. Is that true?

My parents lived and went to school in the west before the country's collapse and I was born here (not a post war child). Nothing would have changed. Still N. America.

My parents got escape visas directly from the Barre regime. Thanks for your loyalty, now here is your exit, shit is about to go down.

I heard Oman is really peaceful and that the Arabs there are very friendly. Is it true?

It is basically a more religious/conservative version of the UAE.

 

[Shmurda]

some people i knew went there for spring break. it is a sin filled sex city lol

Exactly my type

On second thought I'd probably pick Amsterdam has all the stuff I like and big Somali population

This is assuming we can't pick our original diaspora because nothing beats Toronto imo

My father was not allowed back because of him. Anyone who disagreed with the regime was put on notice. He intially left to the EU for a merit-based scholarship, worked in the ME and married my mother in NA.

I could have almost grown up as an Italian Somali as my parents entered Europe via Italy and they speak fluent Italian (they are boomers) and almost considered permanently living there, .

Do you speak Italian?

 

[Qali]

Probably Saudi, my Dad always told me about how he wants us to live next to the kabbah. My dad left Somalia in ‘95, my Hooyo left in the 2000’s (Kenya).

Do you speak Italian?

Nope, I dodged the Italian bullet.

Most of my family came to Europe via Italy , my father worked there before the government collapsed, it was quite easy to get a visa back then .

I think at least half of the Somali population (first wave) in Europe were in Italy at one point when entering Europe .
