I am more surprised by westerners at this point. Folks yelling at cars because they got too close to precious, complaining that the food has bones, speaking English slow and loud so a waitress can suddenly comprehend a language she has never learned, making faces when a baby poops on the street...etc. Not sure why I feel this way now since I have done all of the above /shrug
I am used to the people (mostly), some of the customs seem silly but that's par for the course in another country I think. The one thing I can't wrap my head around is the idea of a 'traditional' girl who won't
until married and the (IMO) insecure guys who only want to marry a 'pure' girl. One of my friends is a 30 year old
woman girl who has never even kissed a man and won't until she is ready to marry. I want to slap her in the forehead with a cock.....I mean a chicken. I don't understand anyone who would choose to marry a virgin or want to be with only one partner in their entire life. How is that healthy at all?
Oh...the other thing that I don't understand are the parents who are underachievers at overachieving through their little prince/princesses. Kids are forced to attend classes almost every waking minute but little attention is paid to if the kids are learning anything of value. How can a kid can study English for 10+ years of public school and paid lessons and not posses the ability to formulate a single coherent sentence outside of "I am fine, thank you."?
....I am from Florida and yes, I teach English with a completely unrelated degree.
So anyway...why didn't you or the other Anglo hold the doors?
