Do you have any friends who are foreigner from other countries?

First, I'll say that I have lots of friends from other countries. But first I will talk about the discrimination. Working at the amusement park, first I saw it by race when I was a younger kid. I have worked at the amusement park about fourteen times over the years from 1967 - 2009. In the sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties it was race. Now, I see foreigner substituted for Black. I remember the Thai girls who came to work with us. They split the girls up and made one of them work with me and she didn't like that. Later, she found out that the place where her friends worked, treated them badly. We treated her good. Years earlier, when I first started working with foreigners at the amusement park, I saw how many of my American coworkers did not like the foreigners. My coworkers lied on the foreigners. They called the foreigners lazy when the American workers were lazy (in Psychology it is called "transference." I've seen enough hatred towards foreigners that I could write a book about it. Most of the foreigners I met at the amusement park are now my Facebook friends. Of those friends, I have two friends from Romania, three friends from Poland, one friend from Malaysia, and two friends from Singapore. I'm amazed that the friends from Singapore are Christian. I learn a lot from all of them and I enjoy it very much. I had a young man from Israel "friend" me on MySpace. He is an Ethiopian Jew and he is now my Facebook friend. I see from him how dangerous things are in Israel and I try to comfort him that God and I are with him regardless of how badly the world thinks about Israel. And now I have a good number of myLot friends although I don't communicate with them like I do the Facebook friends. Thus, my philosophy is that we are all on the same boat (planet) and we either sink or swim together.

I actually love meeting new friends specially when they are foriengners.I have arabic,japanese,ameriacans and etc.You mentioned about discrimination!Yes!discrimination occurs its because of the reace the nationalitiers and etc,but no matter what is there reason I find it hard unreasonable.If you want a nice friend and nice conversation with them treat them fairly.Always remember that were only human and were not perfect.

Hi wildlittlefan! I love making friends around the world. I don't mind of the color and race one has because I believe we are all equal. Sadly, discrimination do exists,and I also really hate being discriminated. People really need to widen their minds and be able to accept anyone from different races, if that happens there won't be hate and the world would be a better place to live. I enjoy the company of my foreign friends because I got to learn more from their culture and their personalities. Each one is unique. I have Korean, Indian, American, Filipino, German, Russian, Indonesian, British and Australian friends. They are really great people. Lets make more friends! Happy mylotting!

When I was in college, I was lucky enough my junior year to share my room with a girl that was Dutch. Our cultures aren't terribly different, but they are different none the less. She and I became pretty good friends during the course of that year. In addition to Jacqueline, I also had another friend that year who I was very close to that was from Sweden. I like having friends that are from different places and I wish that I would have been better able to keep in touch with Jacqueline and Jeannette.

Germany is not my native country. I am a foreigner here. All of my neighbors are German people. I have a good contact with them. and my son has a german friend. His mother is a good friend to me. I don't bother one's nation. I simply make friendship with others.

Yes I do, I love to make friends from far away places since ICQ, remember this talking program that we used in place of messenger? There were british people drinking tea, indian having curry, it was so fun to check that this hour, right now in that country there is someone doing something very predictable.

I have many Turkish friends, those that have been my mentors during my high school days. I have learned a lot from them even outside the classrooms for we have shared many great times together. One of them is really closed to me and is like a brother. He had embraced our culture and has in fact, married a citizen of our country.

I am lucky because I have made some good friends with foreigners. And one of them even stayed at my home when he visited my country. He is also a good friend to my family. The foreigners who can be my friends won't have the discrimination. I think the difference makes us want to learn more from each other. I love China

I live in Denmark and I have a friend from Indonesia. She has been married to a Dane and she has lived in Denmark for many years. When we met she went to an international school where there were lots of other foreigners. I met many of her friends and I got the chance to talk to people from the Philippines, Thailand, Somalia, Brazil etc and I loved talking to her international friends. They often told me about their countries and cultures and it was very interesting. Some years ago I had a boyfriend from South Africa. He had been living in Denmark since he was a teenager and he had many friends from Somalia, Kenya and South Africa and we often spent time with his friends.They told me about their countries and they were always ready to answer my questions about their countries. They also taught me some of their language. When I went to nursing school once of my classmates was from Uganda and we became friends. Unfortuneately I am not in touch with her anymore. When I left nursing school I moved to another part of the country and since that time we haven't had the chance to meet.

Yes, yo have a point, cultures bridge people and if these bridges can be broken down, there's changes of having great friends other than our fellow citizen. I also agree that it is hard to impose our thinking with others as each has its own thinking and beliefs. As long as people are separated by cultures, traditions, religions, men will never be in one thoughts and beliefs which will make this world a hard place to live for.

no i havent as i would be no good as a penpal

I have an Indian friend who lives here in our country,she's my friend for 4 years now and we are having some fun sometimes when we are free from our studies. We are planning to have an outing by next month before she visits her country this coming June. She's very friendly and she loves my country too.

Yes i have also lots of friends from other countries it is really good and its really a memorable for me to have them in my life because you share traditions like foods,cultures and your respecting each other because your are all your friends.And they were open minded and mostly they are working hard to have a better life in the future.

I would like to meet friends from all over the world.I want to learn from them. In our country,only some people could communicate with foreigners in English.Most of the people can't do this.Now I pratice listening and reading everyday after work or getting up in the morning. I assess this web to learn from you everyday .

Yes I have friends from other countries. Most I meet and work at the college I work for. They are from Malawi,Africa,Ghana,Africa,South Norea,China,Japan,Nepal and Moldova. Most have gone home after their schooling and I stay in touch with them through Facebook. I know North and South Korea hate each other! In Ghana and Malawi women have to be submissive. Men make all the decisons and it is ok if a married man cheats on their wives but if a wife does on her husband she is shunned from the village! China is in control of Tibet that isn't right! People from Tibet hate China for that and will until they stop being in control there! China also hates that Tiawian wants to an independent country,not part of them anymore! The US tries to get along with everyone but right now we are still in Irag and Afghanistan fighting wars! We are know involved in bombing Libyia! It never ends! I wish every country in the world would get along with every other contry! It is to much to ask?

I have two friends who are from Germany, and I have never considered treating them differently because they were from somewhere else.

i got american, australian, iranian, german and african friends i would like to have scottish friends though cause they're a rough and tumble group hehehe

i actually dont have any friends in other countries of the world, which i find unfortunate. ive really never been in much contact with anyone that would qualify as a foreigner! BUT i hope that someday soon i will. part of the reason i joined the navy after all is to see parts of the world that i wouldnt have to opportunity to see otherwise, so hopefully at some point that hope will come true!
