I lived in a village smaller than 2000 for 20 years, mainly muslim too.... I was the odd one out at school being British, hit by the religious education teacher to learn prayers... Parents ex drug dealers.... Gosh FUCK ME!!
The problem starts when people just sit around, specially in coffee bars and just talk about what other people do. Car passes, me and my girlfriend, my brother and his girlfriend going to have a swim while high... Half the coffee bar staring like zombies as we go past... Made me wonder if they were staring at the ground before we went past lol
Don`t remind me man don`t remind me... That was a BAD trip lol
akgrown I feel for you. If your going to be there for some time just blend in. Its really not that hard, keep it simple. Talk about the weather, do some things you can relate to people with, be happy and don`t be too "flashy". Be calm around people too, calm as hell
And the 100 dollar eights, you know the answer to that one don`t you lol
Oh also if your friendly it has its advantages. The local popo will turn a blind eye if your a good man. Lend him a garden rake or something, take some excess cake round a few times lol
