That's true. I once saw this lady at the open meat market picking her nose while cutting meat. I didn't buy the meat.  yikes.png That's why I advocate staring back.  big_smile.png


At least no extra charge for it.

I don't think I'm constantly stared at, but I welcome the staring. I fit in better that way. I think one time a couple years ago I was caught looking at the same person 3 times within maybe 5 minutes. Oops. smile.png

Do you remember when you cross the river "rio grande" ?
And ones you were on the other side, the white people would look at you ..the same way they look at you here?

Thu,

Best response here.. I have been traveling to Vietnam since 1999 and have now lived here for 3 years. It use to bother me as well. I just say "hello" to the on-lookers and almost immediately their stare turns into a smile and a mutual greeting.
It is little thing like this that you can turn around and make your life here so much more pleasant!
Take care all,
Ca Chep
