Q: You have been here for well, a relatively long time now, do you still consider yourself as a refugee?
Yes.
Q: What does that word mean to you "refugee"?
Well because I live in a place, in a land, which isn't my land, and I feel that I am still a refugee because sometimes when things happen, like things happen, in America 11th September, also happened here. When you look at these who are bringing all these upon here so you feel well I'm a refugee because that's why, you know, during the 11th September people were so much looking at you, these are all the people doing all these things so yeah sometimes you feel you are still a refugee.
Q: Did you have a personal experience of that after September the 11th?
Yeah, yeah and in the tubes people look at you and whenever you are turning your back going to work talking people are trying to be a bit scarier, and yeah but that's a part of life.
