Lots of somalians in my home city as well. I just call them the Abdi Walle Lalle people, because everyone has a name like that and their language sounds like a long, neverending line of "walle lalle walle lalle walle lalle walle lalle" along with those arab sounding throat noises.
However, this also used to be the iranian capital of Sweden because iranians are usually after higher education and the university here wasn't as attractive as those in southern Sweden, so easier to get into. Today it's as good as any swedish university though, it's the climate and being over 100 miles from the continent that gives people cold feet. The russian border is actually closer than the german. However, because of the university there are usually exotic foreigners on the airplanes going here. I've met japanese people and I also heard hebrew being spoken, as well as italian. And this city only has 100 000 citizens but is extremely multicultural. It even has a mosque being built, which I an really opposed to. Some multicultural things are nice, like the japanese restaurant we have with real japanese chefs, but others are lame, like too many muslims and also a lot of latinos selling drugs. It's weird. I'm just glad the russian mafia didn't start making this a nest for prostitution and drugs yet. If you go north into the next, northernmost county of Sweden, there are russian whores I heard.
What truly makes my hometown a shithole though is the fact that it lacks any real commerce. It's just the university, no designer boutiques, no flashy meeting places for the truly over the top people etc. Nothing of interest. The people who do come here are dry academics, not a varied and interesting group of people.
In a way, I don't know why I'm still here. However, no larger city in Sweden can offer anything but muslims, gang violence, drugs, open street rapes (Sweden also has a disgusting amount of gay rapes compared to other countries for some reason, so guys are definitely not safe). A perfect place for me would be Sapporo in Japan, but I can never get a permanent visa and a real job there. The climate of Hokkaido is like my home region, Sapporo is more modern and liberal than the rest of Japan and also a very easy attitude place I hear. Perfect climate, incredible summers, great food and almost no muslims or crime. A living city without the downsides of major european cities and even other japanese cities. I have checked up on many different cities and Sapporo seems to be possibly one of the best in the world to live in, not just best in Japan.
