wàiguó - 外國 foreigner

A foreign national is willing to say anything for the benefit of his own nation. He is not from your nation and he does not by default understand your concerns. While he is visiting your nation, he will probably integrate some of your cultural mores.

Arabic: mustashariq - Somebody coming to visit the east: when we say as a greeting Ahlan wa Sahlan it means we expect that our visiting "ta-kun" will become a part of the local culture. It says basically "come as a guest and stay as a friend."

We don't really have any inexpensive or convenient way to deport him so we really don't know how long he will be staying. There's a German story about a family with a thatched roof belongs right here, and the punchline sounds like this:

"If you keep taking my thatches for souvenirs, I will sooner have no roof at all!"

Now I think I should write a novel.
