Anyone wanna put me up for a week?

Btw the black negro beans picture is just because I found the obvious racism funny (negro is the spanish word for black and whatnot, but negro beans? come on!)

It's not negro beans. It's black beans, or frijoles negro. Take it up with the Spanish speakers.

What's wrong with black beans?

While you're there, read what's written above the front door at the Concord bus station. Then take a picture of it.

Nothing wrong with black beans, but there is a racist allusion to negro beans

I think it's getting lost in that whole Spanish/American/Swedish/Australian translation process. 

[Lloyd Danforth]

In the 50's we called them 'colored beans'

[Kat Kanning]

My dad gets all grossed out by 'kidney' beans, so we call them red beans whenever he's around.

If your from Sweden its funnier.
Theres a kind of chocolate cake here that is formed like i 1/2 inch ball and because they are browned they are called negroballs. Many people think its racist now and call them chocolate balls instead.
There even where a women who filed a lawsuit agaist a storeowner who sold negro balls and had a sign with negro balls in the store.

Chocolate Salty Balls?

[Amos Keag]

Chef's specialty...put 'em in your mouth 'n suck 'em!

[burnthebeautiful]

They're not salty, just chocolatey

People getting all in a huff over calling chocolate balls 'negro balls' is a good example of political correctness in Sweden. Someone was actually arrested for hate speach for selling t-shirts with 'Long live the negro ball' at a fair

In Germany there's a sweet that's covered in chocolate and filled with a marshmellow cream that they used to call Negerk?sschen (Nigger Kisses) but now they call them Dickmann's, after the most popular brand.

Hope you're enjoying/enjoyed your stay in NH, Liam. Can't wait til you move. My husband'll be thrilled for another Swedish speaker to live in NH!

[burnthebeautiful]

Shame about the whole immigration laws thing, or else I'd have moved ages ago.

[davemincin]

I just want to give huge thanks to the Deerfield gang for the hospitality and driving me places. It allowed me to experience New Hampshire in a much more "homey" way as apposed to the more touristy way I experienced the state the first time. My trip back in July showed me what it's like to visit New Hampshire as a tourist, this trip showed me what it's like to live there. I like both, they both have their charm.

Everyone I met was nice and friendly and made me feel at home, so thanks to all of you.

I'll be back in 6-12 months, depending on various circumstances, mainly when I get my license.
