Peace, Love, and Lutefisk: Adventures i Norge

There is a great guy in our peace studies program named Mostofa. He is from Bangladesh and today during an evaluation session, he was right on mark with short and very profound ideas for changing the program. Inspiring to hear. He always has a smile on his face and speaks with a heavy Indian English. He has provided countless laughs and today was no exception. He told us about his job at Burger King. He said that now he can make over 17 different kinds of hamburgers! He also admitted that he eats a "Hooper" everyday at work. (That would be Whopper for all of you American speakers out there.) He also laughed because he said every day at work he was making his burger to eat and would put bacon on it. Finally, one day his boss asked him, "Mostofa, aren't you Muslim? Why are you eating pig?" Mostofa replied with surprise, "You are telling me that bacon is pig?" He did clarify to us however that if someone doesn't know they are eating pig, it is ok, so I guess he's in the clear. So, that's Mostofa. He brightened my day today.
