Welcome to Mørkved mottak, you can locate it near the shell gas station with its yellow clear colour. It contains two buildings, each one have two floors and with capacity of 64 people for males only, each room contains two beds, every floor you can find four bathrooms and two kitchens for 16 pepole, and tv room for the whole building.
Many nationalities live in Mørkved mottak, asylum seekers from all around the world: Iraq, Sudan, Palestine, Eritrea, etc., and of course with different languages and cultures make it sometimes interesting to watch this cultural mixture.
If there’s no school or meetings the day usually start after 12am for most of us, beginning with making breakfast if we call it like that in this late time! Part of us go for shopping for lunch and the others in their rooms talk with their families and friends in homelands, and maybe you can find some of us who return back to sleep again because they dont have anything to do, with no work permitions and even if you have that permition it’s hard to find a job with poor Norwegian language.
Sitting in the kitchen is the most popular thing you can see here. Talking about Norway and the new rules, immigration, politics, economy, love and life, but at the end of these discussions every one will leave holding his own opinion without any changes!
It’s the night now and it’s the time for the internet and communicating and tv, it’s so quiet there and some of us cook and the other wait to pack the bread for the next three or four days, we are trying to keep some of our traditional food.
The day will end about 3.00 or 4.00 a.m. and people start to sneak to their rooms but of course you will notice the overcrowding next to the bathrooms! It’s time for sleep now so good night.
