I’m so upset… Application Process

Post image

I have severe food allergies but have managed my entire life without problems. Are there really other countries I could go to?

I didn’t know this. I definitely should have researched more when making my decision

Lmao. Classic. Chose Cameroon and knew nothing about their cuisine or culture. Did you just want to go to "Africa?"

Have you read any comments? I said I prefer a francophone country because I speak French. I know plenty about their culture as I grew up around PLENTY of west Africans. There is really no need to be rude and condescending. Have a day.

Grew up around "PLENTY" of West Africans and applied to live in Cameroon and had no idea about the proliferation of tree nuts in West Africa.... Sure, you did your research. 😂

Acorns are tree nuts. They are prolific in California. Would anyone with a nut allergy moving to CA be a total uninformed dumbass too or do you relish being obstreperous?

Wow, what an embarrassment that you thought that was an impressive retort. 😂 Are acorns prolific in Californian restaurants? Try again.

you are the genius saying people with nut allergies are dumb to move somewhere there are “nut trees” so I’m just taking your brilliant stance to the naturally illogical conclusion. That’s all, sport. Or don’t you get it smart guy?

As I said. I felt comfortable as I speak the language. I’m not sure what part of that you aren’t understanding. I really don’t feel like you’re on this thread for any productive reason so like I said, have a day.

My apologies, above you do admit that you "should've done more research." Which is wild, but I do give you credit.

"I'm gonna live somewhere for two years and I don't even know what they eat! I should have researched that!" 🤦🏼‍♂️

You must be fun at parties. Please tell me more about your knowledge of the "proliferation of tree nuts in West Africa"
