While I walk around the streets of Vieux-Fort



I am usually not anal about people mistaking me for another nationality.. I usually could care less if bums and such say stupid things to you while you walk pass them.. but mann ever since i've lived on this island.. it's actually getting to me! the name callings. the country callings.. etc.. just because they are not used to seeing an asian girl in their country. it is SO NEW to them. I totally understand that this is a 3rd world country and that they have many disadvantages of not being exposed to MANY other cultures around the world and not being educated about it also but it STILL annoys/irritates/pisses me off everytime i face it now. Sometimes I just have the urge to tell them to SHUT THE HELL UP to their faces but we all know that won't be a good sight afterwards.

Story 1: Walking back to school from this baguette shop for breakfast, a bum was sitting around the stairs to a restaurant.. he sees me walking by ( ignoring him of course because why should i talk to him? ) and yells out GO HOME KOREA GO HOME! in a very angry voice! LOL that ticked me off. who the hell is he to tell me to go home? a bum? AND I AM NOT KOREAN ( no offense to my korean friends :D )

Story 2: ( which happened today ) I walk back from the bank with my rooomate.. i get a HEY CHINA comee over hereeee.. then i blanked out on the rest that the guy was talking about.. he was trying to sell something i believe.. but of course i walked away..

Story 3: (this one is decent) some pharmacist while i wait for my medication for my stupid skin problem a month ago, asked me NICELY what i was.. taiwan/china/korea/japan? im like "ohh im vietnamese" then shes like oo only you guys would know the difference huh?! you all look alike to me. i guess that was uhh ok?

Story 4: im in the driver seat waiting for people to finish up at the bank. some local pulls up right next to me at my window.. ( my window was rolled down ) and he tells me. I WILL MARRY YOU CHINA.. YOU WILL SEE I WILL MARRY YOU.. do you have boyfriend? just watch! then he just sits there in his car for awhile and decides to drive off.. -_- wthell.

Of course my rooomate never gets shit like that.. haha she's indian.. i think there's actually a decent population of indians living on this island.... man these people.
