the people... so far it has been pretty alright... at least for the first week... probably because we're too caught up in adjusting to the climate, time zone and job... that we havent got time to analyse the people around enough... there are people from quite a few countries really... so far i've noted Thailand, Ukraine, Singapore, China, Germany, Romania... and America of course... Caucasians here are probably quite unlike those we get back home... the fact that they have traveled halfway across the globe probably shows that they are receptive to and like pretty much, the Asian culture and its people... thing is... we've met people who have been great... Joe, Ron, Kristy, Mary, etc... and alot of the older individuals, employees and hotel guests alike... but i guess... with that... we've also met people who look at us differently... passive discrimination, i gather... i dont think you need to do anything bad to be discriminating... sometimes it's what you dont do or do differently that is the problem... the good thing is... we're here as a group together... so that's something good... just looking forward to when we can travel independently... on another note... i misplaced my Abercrombie fleece... think i left it in the Housekeeping Office... will go check tomorrow... if not... i'm pretty screwed... nothing to keep me warm from the mind-blowing winds of the mountains i'm going to climb... Sepulcher, here i come! ----Stef stopped rambling at 12:12 --Link to Post |
