written by ha, i was living on the 10th floor in building 18 intel together with my colleagues thought we were for to a room, one room. they contracts required them to live in dormitories at the zone and bloom and house. they had just 5 square meters per person, but home was glad to be living in raw stock, buckingham clickable. i remember one time a group of 4 or 5 of us from the zoning, bloom and house went to rostock main railway station. monday, look at there was a change of schedule. so we couldn't get a train to lift and hug on that, norway. we didn't know the way i come back on ball. we could do was draw 3 sunflowers on the ground island highland some locals. understood and showed us how to get home back

a very close eye on our personal lives control yet. and the east german authorities didn't like to see us having too much contact with the local people within. within did air google ha ha h. german television was keen to paint a picture of comradeship among peoples. so saying the new arrivals attended a 2 month german language class intended only to prepare them for their work for lee. oh, just months after the last vietnamese arrived, the berlin wall fell. ah for east and west germans. it was a time of elation. bought for vietnamese workers, it was

a disappointment. as communist east germany crumbled, they faced an uncertain future. their job contracts came to an abrupt end part of end of on the dock there the, the for the fall of the wall, we were kept separate but safe in the hobby after words. i really noticed the negative aspects of being from vietnam. when done. we felt at every single day and they said things like east germany brought you over here. now it's gonna, so get lost up. i'm a go wild kinds of verbal abuse. aarp begin to be sinful owner in during his turbulent time. vulcan rich to move to rostock, he remembers the mixed feelings of many of his fellow east germans. as far as the o fortune, there was the sense of excitement in post communist is germany. i via he bore, saying, we have all these new opportunities and we're enjoying the feeling of no longer being. so boxed in the i english links was i initial mitzo arvin over the practice

was right here. like all on i and i go along and then at the refugees lived in these alcove took of the lamina. this one was a bit elevated to i looked up, they told them they'd throw their stuff all around the place and it became a problem. then with ang at yet to leave the families spent weeks, he with no access to sanitary facilities or washrooms, the mood among local germans took a disturbing turn. me out. i'm not racist, but the way these people behave is simply unacceptable. and germany gave the daughter in law. so we have another busing and even more of them get them out of here into the forests. and they bonum. when i go in and take some photos

on. yeah, i saw there cropping all over the place here. i found the ones when you go to work in the morning, you have all these asylum seekers and romanians in your way was mama's arms. you worry about maybe getting whacked over the head. this is not okay. it has to change . when you go, i'm done with the as events escalated. it's my was in listen huggins practically every day in the snow. and you could feel this resentment becoming more and more aggressive. it's houston, the bullish bureau, bought bought, received on august the 22nd, a crowd of people began to gather outside dishonorable in house. oh, as well in his or old school, there was this really aggressive and highly charged atmosphere. done both love. you
