I was laughing so much while reading this part....U should totaly go to the Modelling Agency there, they will make a commercial with you or smth:>...Forgive them for not seeing too many white people, and especially so unique looking...Back in the days in Lithuania I used to do the same thing...every time I saw a black person, I would run and ask to take pictures....Now when I look back , it seems so silly, right???? KEEP having fun, pics are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

So great! This brought back memories of when I was a blond in Equador....soldiers (supposedly guarding the bank) would get in trouble for talking to me and one man even fell into the street (with oncoming traffic skidding out of his way).

My gross thing was chicken feet soup. (only cause I couldn't quite stomach the guinea pigs!)
