Sweet...
So what do foreigners expect?
1. We expect you to know that most of us have no idea about your traditions and the differences between our and your social structure.
2. We expect you to know that we have no money to burn. If we had, we would be on the Seychelles.
3. We expect you to know the meaning of "NO" and take it seriously.
4. We expect to be listened to whenever we are having a discussion.
5. We expect you to know that if you are loud it doesn´t mean that you are right and that saying the same thing over and over again doesn´t change any situation.
6. We expect not to be stared at just because our haircolor and height are different.
7. We expect you to know that in other places of the world it is considered rude not to look into the eyes of the person you are talking to to. Even if you are a girl and the other is a guy.
8. We expect you to know that smiling is a sign of good will and not the sign of "I wanna get laid."
9. We expect not to hear sentences like "Foreigners are so gross, you can fuck their spouse in front of their eyes, they wouldn´t say a thing" in a Reality show on national TV.
10. We expect you to expect that we have too many expectations but we don´t care about those too much. So take it easy, maaaan.
That would be all for know. Take care guys!
quite interesting, i meant very interesting. enjoyed reading it, not boring in comparison to some
however I would have questions re: some of your points.
#4 is interesting. what do you mean? they dont listen to you? why? is it because of you are a woman?
#5 is typical to southern eastern culture.
#6 well, I cant handle that, I stare at people too.
#7 Agree with that. It is rude. ( once wanted a samosa from a pakistani shop, the guy even didnt look at me handing the bag).
