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

@ophiuchus It's not hard in California.

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.

I’ve lived in mostly black areas before, but I live in a white but struggling area now.

It’s funny how I can live in one of the poorest parts of the country with little to no violent crime.
