A friend’s girlfriend told me about an international club here in Zürich doing the reading club thing. That would be interesting – do some more reading, and practice my English (assuming this mostly in English...) – searching for a web page, I found a list of addresses that try to help integrating migrants.

“Migrants” sounds a bit like newspeak to me. They want to empasize how people migrate a lot more, and somehow the term “foreigner” seems to exclude them, and “refugee” has a bad taste, too... But all those sad facts about xenophobia won’t go away by calling them/us “migrants”.
