Albania also allows year-long stays for Americans but I have no idea what the quality of life is like there

if it's like Serbia it probably sucks

And yeah turkey is like Russia I want to learn about it but the sources are so skewed it’s hard what to trust

friend of mine says they're actually quite welcoming to Americans

at least in Istanbul

@mattforney Albania I heard isn’t as bad as Bosnia

the Turks who end up in Europe are shitbags, the ones who stay behind are more on the ball

which makes sense

But it’s predominantly Muslim so who knows how me as a Christian will be treated

people generally don't emigrate under shitty gasterbeiter programs if they have a good life back home

@mattforney really how come? On the Turks in Europe

Turks in Istanbul are largely secular

Ahh ok

you're not going to run into serious Muslims unless you go to rural areas

And I meant Albania

And gotcha

Albania isn't very Muslim

only about 50 percent or so

the remainder are Catholic or Orthodox

Ahh ok thought it was more 70

And 30 Christian

according to another friend of mine the Muslims in Albania aren't observant

the Catholics are more devout

Ahh

Bosnia isn't a real country

Lol oh I know

it's becoming an open-air refugee camp

That’s why you mentioned Serbia lol

😉

the Bosniaks are letting "Syrians" hole up there to change the demographic balance

Oooh that’s.... really bad

and also because the Croats won't let them in

Yeah Croatia I’ll love to visit

Bosnia has another ten years at most before it collapses

Just because I’m Croatian myself

the Serb parts will unify with Serbia and Croatia will grab the rest

Yep

Bloodlessly I think

lol no, the Balkans are full of savages

they'll be recreating Srebrenica in short order

Oh true they’ll fight over them out of spite
