But these last few days I have seen other tall whitish folk about , the other day I was sitting waiting for food and in walks this chap with his partner and here was me thinking someone to say hello too, but was completely blanked , then yesterday while in Handyman again I passed another tall person but this time it was a case of ‘ alright then ‘ and a smile and a nod and that was it. Do other new folk see others around and try to say hi or even a nod specially if walking past each other. If you are talking about this experience while you were in the Phills..I get you. When I go to the malls, most white people that I see don't want to make eye contact. Maybe I will never know why! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Marvin Boggs Posted December 5, 2019 Popular Post Posted December 5, 2019 Its funny how similar all of our experiences are. I'm the guy who will give you a polite nod and probably just keep going. Its for a variety of reasons: - a lot of drunk or embarrassing expats I don't want to associate with, like the drunk guy at 7-11 snapping his fingers at me to get me to come join. No thanks a**h*le. - don't want to really commiserate about difficulties, complaints, etc. - half of the time when I have prompted an exchange, the other guy will be Russian or Belgian, etc. with a very thick accent and difficult to communicate. - I really don't want to get involved in a circle of expat friends doing expat things. Although sometimes I do miss a good Football Sunday with the guys. - My asawa is quite a hottie, and I don't want to get into any wife comparisons or some a**h*le comment, etc. Maybe I need to lighten up a little bit. But I don't enjoy being in places with too many expats, prefer to be turning Kanoy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewool Posted December 5, 2019 Author Posted December 5, 2019 Just like a London city bus, you are waiting for one and then they all come , well today I walked past 2 pale tall old gentlemen, 1 was with a young lady and baby the other was with a lady too and yes one kept his head down while the other just walked past , I wonder could it be my deodorant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed that my girl is better looking than yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 I tend to not socialize very much with other foreigners when I am there. Never understood why going to a place on the other side of the world, if wanting to hang out with people just like me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
