Monshi Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I posted where I live on page 1, but since I'm the only iranian (I think ) in MFC - feel that it is my responsibility to show you where I'm originally from (I have to say I'm very proud of my culture ) So, never been there myself LOL but anyhow: the star, is the capital (Tehran) and my mums hometown.

ziema Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I definitely know what you mean. Everyone knows everyone else's business! Exaclty ^^ And there are so many prejudices here too. Because there are like five villages around here, and there are stereotypes for all of them ^^ But it's good to know what everyone is up to, I like gossip and knowing things about people ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're like that on purpose, it's just that when you've lived like that all your life, I think it's something you don't realize you're doing. About the gossip, my mom works at the town hall, where people pay their bills and complain, lol. Anyway, she gets ALL the gossip, people just come in and tell her stuff, it's sometimes very helpful, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becks Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 canada is so huge! lol I have always been wondering: saskatchewan, does this name have indian origins? It sure does. Saskatchewan is actually Cree for "swift flowing river" which makes sense since the Saskatchewan river branches and flows through Prince Albert (my hometown) and Saskatoon right into to Alberta, our neighboring province.

Before that everyone was with the people from their own tiny village. Then they get divided and mixed with pupils from the other villages, of course the prejudices begins ^^ I'd love to be the gossip lady! ^^ And I would be polite and complain with the people too, but then I would tell my friends about it ^^ Not very nice, but it would be quite fun.

My hometown, Prince Albert was named after Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Queen Victoria's husband. Saskatoon, however, was named after a berry....not very poetic!!! :roftl: Saskatoon berries are really tasty. They are similar to a blueberry but are darker and grow everywhere. It's fun to go hiking here....there's "snacks" all along the trails!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
