How residents experience their municipality
Many farmers who can't handle it when you form your own opinion. Refugees in our village are simply called names like black dogs by children. This is not new! This is a village that accepts nothing from outside and is extremely racist. I also smoke a joint for pain, but I'm treated like a junkie and immediately assumed to be a dealer? Bad experiences with people from the neighbourhood because they only accept their own. Hardly anything to do for young people, especially if you're 18+. I attended both primary schools; I was bullied at the OBS, and the CBS was also a bad environment for a child.

Auto-translated to English by AIIf you think of rural living, this is where you end up. There's a school for the youngest villagers. Otherwise wonderfully quiet, and having to go to another place for groceries is just the way it is! Here you can still put things outside and enjoy the sheep in the meadow.
