I wonder how many different nationalities are represented in Johanneberg, my current neighborhood in Gothenburg. How many nationalities are represented in your neighborhood?
This is an awesome idea for a photo blog! It would be interesting to see the enthic makeup of neighborhoods all around the world. They say that Queens, New York is the most diverse place in the world. I don’t live in Queens but I think the diversity in my neighborhood (Brooklyn, NY) is pretty mixed too.
Yes, that would be really interesting. Here’s an example of the diversity in Brooklyn http://colormekatie.blogspot.com/2009/07/greenpoint.html That’s the post I was inspired by. Most people I asked here in Johanneberg were not too keen on getting photographed though. Once I move to a new neighbourhood, I’m doing another one of these.
This is a great theme and one that can be updated as you wander around. Adding personal stories would enrich this topic as well, don’t you think? Amazing where people choose to relocate in this world.
.-= Cate´s last blog ..You are never too old for hostels or are you? =-.
Yeah, that’s a great idea. You could ask people whether they were born here or relocated later in their life, how/why they chose to move, how long they’ve lived here, the best thing about the neighbourhood, what they miss/don’t miss from back home etc. Thanks for the suggestion, Cate.

I agree with Monica, awesome blog idea.
And I couldn’t agree more. I thank Katie Sokoler for coming up with the idea.
