  • I worked with a dude from Syria during the civil war there. The conversation went something like:

    Him: Hey fjordmonkey, do you want to hear some middle eastern music?

    Me: Sure (was pretty good NGL)

    Him: I like middle eastern music, it’s all like “boo hoo everyone is trying to blow up my family. I’m so sad” lol.

    Me: Dude, wtf

    The place had two other Syrians working there. One spoke Arabic and Norwegian, the other spoke Arabic and English. I could talk to either of them fine but three way conversations weren’t possible without repeating everything we said. But yeah Arabic music is cool.

    But I digress I like foraging for mushrooms and berries, fishing, looking for little crabs on rocky beaches, being on the water (but regrettably I don’t have a boat), growing peppers, driving around in the mountains, camping.

    Edit: I also like making fancy cakes, but I’m not very good at it.
