Today I had lunch with my coworker, her older sister, her cousin, and her cousin's husband. It was pretty amusing! I asked them if they wanted my friends coming from America to bring them anything and they requested "aquafresh toothpaste and glucosamine vitamins." HAHAHA! If I only knew that is what people over here wanted!

The other fun statement by her cousin was "Hmmm, strange. Your face looks thin but your body is wide."

Indeed. Oh, and they all thought I looked Korean. -_-

Not really related but an interesting convo I had recently that I forgot to mention...

Friend: "Hmmm, would you like to cover up your skin from the sun?" (as she puts on a jacket, long skirt, and face mask to protect her translucent state)

Me: "Nope, I like tanned skin. In America a lot of people go to tanning salons, do spray tans, and sunbathe to get darker skin. It is considered beautiful by many people over there."

Friend: "Eh, really??? Then why do Americans treat Black people badly so much?"

Me: "That's not related to beauty...that's racism."
