gary714 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 helllo everybody.. i live in socal and i just went on vacation to london about 2 weeks ago. And it just so happens i ended up at the Metrepole hilton hotel on Edgeware road. And WOW, if your vacationing in london you have to go to that street. There are hookah bars every 20 feet for about 5 blocks! The only downside was that the muslims and arabs in london are complete doeschebag assholes .

notmylogin1977 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) I know what you mean about the arabs in Edgware Road being treated better than others - thats just the way it is in that part as it's pretty arab dominated. Also, a lot of wealthy arabs come to London in the summer for their summer holidays, and they can be real tossers sometimes. Some of the cafe's there think they can treat you like crap and get away with it, as they have people queuing up outside to want to eat/smoke there.. you just learn to avoid those.I know a lot of Muslims that dont' have that kind of attitude (me included), it's unfortunate that was the first thing you experienced. Maybe it's just an edgware road thing?It reminds me of the first time I went to San Francisco. I thought, where are the americans? All I saw were hispanics and asians (the non-indian kind). Still, I thought I must just be in the wrong part of town! Edited August 20, 2007 by notmylogin1977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markchan Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 yeah i walked down melbourne's main street and i saw two white people!! i thought i went back to singapore haha. ah well thts the way the world is turning nowadays, got to roll with the punches i say. the world is mixing alot more, probably the second great migration. i'm all for it though, you get so much more culture and such a different take on how esle to live ur life.of course there will be differences and mis understandings due to this magnitude of cultural difference but i feel if embraced will make the current culture so much stronger.
