People always ask you where you are from. It's natural. I have one of those faces that confuses. When I was in Israel, people thought that I was Israeli. When I was on holiday on one of the Greek islands, they thought that I was a local. In France I've been mistaken for a native. They weren't sure, even when I traveled in India. Some swore that I was from Kashmir!
I knew that this game of cultural masquerade that I was playing would stop
in South East Asia. I definitely do not look Asian, or so I thought.
I've had people both in Singapore and Thailand think that I was
from there! I am a true Global Citizen (I just need to learn the
languages now). The only country where people always ask
me where I'm from is my own - England.
To tomorrow...
