Lao Wai Guo Ren!
We were hiking yesterday. It was funny, we got to the enterance of Ba Shan village, when we saw these little kids, shouting "Lao wai guo ren! Lao wai guo ren!" (Foriegn country people) They thought we were hilarious. Daddy pretended to be really appalled or scared, and that made 'em laugh louder.
On the way back, they were still there, but this time shouting, "Mei guo ren! Mei guo ren!" (Beautiful country (America) people!). Mum said they had finally got our nationality straight.
Ah, such is the life of an expat. I promised my sister I'd read her some For Better or For Worse archives, so I better go.
