Ok, they don’t always say it. But they must be thinking it. When a foreigner comes into their country – when an Australian comes to India, or a Philippino comes to the USA, or a Mexican comes to Saudi Arabia, the nationals notice things. They notice the strange things the foreigner does…
So I just love this post over at OceanicThai, with a whole bunch of things that “Southeastern Asians wonder about us” – apparently a set of questions that have actually been asked out loud! Some of my favourites:
- “Why do you get up so late in the morning?” (i.e. 6:30 a.m.)
- “Why do you think this food is spicy? My baby even eats it.”
- “Why are you foreigners so fat?”
