They have another word for it
That’s where the Mormon church sent me to serve my mandatory LDS mission
Yeah I think it's something like lao wai?
I saw a ton of Antifa and generally communist graffiti and propaganda everywhere in Greece when I was there. I did see a bit of Golden Dawn stuff as well though, but the amount of leftist references I saw was staggering.
I can't remember
@Grayson I nearly lived there too my parents almost accepted a teaching Job in Nicosia. Were there as a missionary? My brother went to Bucharest for his missionary work
Lao wai in mandarin
Yea
meaning "old outside" literally
Yes
Old foreigner, better
I remember that part
In Cantonese, it's guai lo
Which is something like "ghost guy"
goy lo
my Polish gets worse every year
@Virgil That’s very cool man. There were eight missionaries on the island.
At this rate I won't even be able to communicate with my parents in a few years (their English kinda sucks tbh)
I don't really understand how it's possible to live in this country and not speak english
wtf do they do
I mean my dad's is fine I guess
my mom still has trouble with weirdly simple stuff
Can confirm that Southern California you don’t need English
It would literally be impossible here
She works at a grocery store, so she interacts with people every day. She just doesn't want to improve.
I mean, I had to learn fluent ebonics to live in this town
I've explained concepts to her multiple times. She just doesn't care.
@Grayson Sounds really neat, sometimes I wish my dad would have raised me closer to the LDS church. I would have loved to have gone to Cyprus and Romania to be a missionary
@ophiuchus Where. Birmingham? Montgomery?
You'll get to the point where you hear "funnagonnawanna" and don't flinch
@Hakujin - CA Birmingham
Gross! Why?
Very! Scholarship gibs
I got into Vanderbilt but it was $$$$$$$$$$$
I will say, if I hadn't moved here, I probably wouldn't be in IE
So everything happens for a reason
@Jacob My grandparents learned english extremely fast and were already fairly fluent before they came to America
There really is nothing more eye opening than the culture shock of living around “diverse” communities.
I can actually survive in Birmingham because of how strongly ethnically segregated this place is
I wouldn't be in IE without growing up in Southern California. Becoming more of a Mexican state everyday.
