Are you a foreigner?

2 amazing funny encounters during these holidays:

On the train to Anqing a university girl really wanted to start a conversation in English with me. So she came over and asked me:

Are you a foreigner?

After few seconds of surprised I broke into laugh!! And I asked her:

Do I look like a Chinese to you????

..but she did not understand the funny situation and the incredible silly question she asked me..

And then I went my way to Bengbu to visit my friend and colleague Yuming. Like Anqing, not many foreigners around Bengbu (even if I know and met 2 american teachers and I know there are a few more). One day we took a taxi and the driver asked my friend if I was from..

PAKISTAN!!!!

Do I look I am from Pakistan to.. anyone?????
