Where are you from?

As we go to different places in the village, I am always asked, "Where are you from?". This is usually the first question. It's not asked in a mean way, just in curiosity. It is almost always followed up with, "Why are you here?". Sometimes the third step will be to take my photo, or to ask to take a photo with me.

This man in the village owns a local "Lodge" or Inn. He wanted to show me his Inn and take some photos with me. He was very interested in my skin color and kept comparing his arm with my arm. Usually it's my hair that gets touched, but he wanted to look at my arms.

He was very friendly and invited us back. :)

  1. They are compelled to touch you because they think you're a ghost. :)
