So hello to you!

I've been in Dublin for over a month now, and I've met a lot of people. From different countries, and we've been talking a lot about misconception. A friend of mine is actually making a documentary about it for one of our classes over here.

But what I want to talk about is how I get misconcepted or misunderstood. Let me tell you the whole story. I was born in Tehran/Iran, we left the country when I was five years old and moved to Norway, and I've lived there ever since. But I've never felt at home, I don't think it's because of the people.

Human beings are curious by nature, and they want to learn more about you, but sometimes i just wish I could be anonymous. Blend in, be like everybody else... and that I didn't have to answer questions like, "where are you from?", and you give the answer but they are never pleased. Through my entire "Norwegian-life" I've only met one person who never asked me my country of origin. He just accepted me for my personality, and not my appereance.

So here we go, first posting. There's going to be many more.
Over and out for this time!
