Wow I've never seen a white man before

Before a couple of years, I went to my friend Tim hometown in China ( he now works for my software company).

His hometown where he grows up, I consider it as a village.

Most young Chinese people work at City but they origin from specific areas in China

One of his old relatives saw me and was shocked.

I asked Tim what's wrong with this man?

As I understand he never saw a white man in his entire life, he only saw a white man on TV

He started to touch my golden hair and look at my green eyes

I became a good friend with this old man

Chinese, people hospitality towards guests are incredible

Some Chinese suggest to put me in a zoo while this seems insulting to me but I know they are kidding

In some areas in China (undeveloped areas) you will be the centre of attention if you are a white man, some people will try to take sneaky photos using their phone

Honestly, it doesn't bother me because I know their intentions are good.

Chinese are just curious about me, they will ask me do you love China? Do you like Chinese food? Do you have any girlfriend? How much money do you make? Why you are not married?

All of this considered rude in Australia, but believe me, it's very normal here and people don't mean anything bad. They are just very good heart simple people
