New Iraq

That's where I live....
It's true!
There are so many Iraqis here in little Hammarkullen-Göteborg...You would actually think that Baghdad was here and not in the middle-east.....hence the name New Iraq...

I wonder what would happen if we put up a sign right outside the apartment builings that said that? I'd probably get myself hunted down and killed...or actually I think they would riot against me...and seeing as the house is so close, I don't think it would be hard for them to find me.

I seen these guys today....one was deffinatelly middle eastern,wearing this outfit that was almost like a dress and he had sandals on and some sort of cap, there were maybe 2 other middle eastern guys but were dressed normally and then with them there were like 2 or 3 african men. Something fishy was going on. They had their cars parked where they wouldn't really been seen by anyone..yet as I walked over the little bridge towards home with Tyson, I could look directly down at them and see what they were doing. however I knew that it would be in my best interest to NOT see what was going on.


Out of the corner of my eye though I could see the guy in the dress thingy and cap look right up at me...and he just kept watching me, but I only looked at Tyson, trying to get him to walk but he had to #2 if you know what I mean...so all I could do is stand there wishing this dog would hurry up. The one car ended up speeding away. I still didn't look, but I could see still the guy looking up at me on the bridge....So eventaully Tyson got done..... I walked across the little bridge normally acting as though I didn't see a thing. This guy got in his car.....he backed up but stopped...Tyson was behind me so I turned to look at him to see what he was doing but also out of the corner of my eye I seen this guy sitting there in his car......waiting...then he drove off. I was SO scared!


Those guys were up to no good and I had to make sure that they thought i didn't even realize they were there...but it was all too obvious to me what was going on...probably drug trading or something...or something worse..who knows....but I hope I never see that again.
This is what the guy was wearing..the hat and cap..weird!

Dodgy! I think that dress thing is called a kaftan isn't it? I'm not sure though.

I am not really sure what it is called.
I just remember thinking it was strange!
