Gewilo
I think you must be staying somewhere away from Central or TST (SF as your friends referred to), otherwise you would see more gewilo (that's what we called white foreigners). I used to have a lot of friends from UK, as they didn't need to have work permit to work here before 1997. They left when getting a work permit becomes a pain.
