riffraff Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm pretty sure a 21st century cardboard box home needs tiedowns securely fastened. In a seismic event I like its chances. Not so much in a hurricane or fire. Link to comment

TheMohammadman Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Dhahran/Khobar/Dammam, Saudi Arabia. But u all probably knew that. Almost 2 years ago I moved from calgary to here. I loved calgary and spent 8 years there. Prior to that I lived in Halifax for 2 years after moving from Karachi, Pakistan. I've lived for 6 months in Qatar. I've also lived in some few other countries across the middle east for shorts stints/also when I was younger. Link to comment

For the most part, the Muslims in Calgary are very friendly and are very adaptive (highly important part of assimilation). That's why I like them here. It's very different encountering the ones in the GTA. Calgary's heritage unfortunately is what I like to call rather sh**-kicker'ish (I celebrate the heritage and stuff but you wouldn't ever catch me riding horses, wearing the cowboy get-up, or shouting "yeehaw!" -- you'd be surprised how involved some get), but it's still part of the culture here, and it's cool seeing Muslims partaking in it. When I moved to Calgary from Toronto, I came first before my wife and daughter, the first experience I had in Calgary was going to a TD Bank to withdraw rent money for a townhouse rental. The customer service lady was a very young and good looking Muslim woman, and when she realized I had just come here she, in front of a huge line of customers listening to us talk about moving, gave me her number and offered to show me around town personally and where all the decent areas are. Would have smashed if I wasn't married. Link to comment

I actually felt there were better Muslims generally in Calgary than here in the city I live in. Back in Calgary the Muslim Community was strongly united, as there were Muslims from many different groups and even shias all praying in the same mosque. With stampede breakfasts, Eid festivals, activities for youth, and much more. Felt like a true community. Link to comment
