What was your biggest experience of “culture shock” in another country?

[Idil-Beydaan]

My cousin and his wife came from netherland and used to live there thank God they've escaped from that shithole and left for America the land of the free and home of the brave

Kkkk
Pseudo Freedom

Yes and that’s very sad
Imagine being homeless in this weather
The homeless are here because of the housing crisis
And the places where they are to be housed are being sold to professionals that are leaving London and gentrifyng this city. Have you seen how much the city centre has changed in the past few years.

Why do Somalis like to live in one place and segregate themselves?

Yeah town has completely changed, for the better I suppose since it makes the place look better, but at what cost? Also it seems the council doesn't know how to spend its money properly. They are currently building a new cycling road from Birchfield Rd. No one is going to be using that.

Heedhe Mareekanka hayga caayin The American dream is still alive you can leave the 3rd world shithole you live in and go to the land of the free.

I don’t know
That’s the biggest problem UK Somalis have
The worst thing is that the areas they settle in are the worst
Like the highest crime rates
The worst school
Awful houses
And that strengthens the views of the far right

I wouldn't lay all the blame on them. Its the government that gives them shit council houses. The councils should be doing all they can to make the place better, but they don't, because they don't give a crap.

I know
They want to make the city more appealing
But they are diverting money from other important things.
The beautiful Library in which they spent 100 of millions of pound is only wholly open till 5pm 6 days a week because of cuts. The council is in loads of debt right know. And Birmingham is hosting the 2020 Commonwealth games.
But the city’s attracting lots of investors that’s a good thing

Turkey : Everyone thought I was french?? Apparently alot of black tourists go to Bodrum. Turkish guys are really forward and not shy at all, it was annoying at first but it makes good conversation at times.

Scotland : PEOPLE ARE TOO NICE (Canada no.2). You could be freezing with frostbite on your toes and they'll tell you it's actually good weather today .

Dubai : Been there twice and once was more than enough. If you don't like shopping do bother yourself.

Italy : Surprisingly a lot of stares.

I think it’s only the Québec region and this other place where they have a french speaking population. Isn’t edmonton where lots of somalis live

Yea they got a good population of Somalis there
