Conversation between a friend and I as we walked through a food market:
"Yeah, it's certainly interesting being a foreigner here. Some of my non-Chinese friends hate the stares that follow them as they walk down the streets, while I can sort of blend in as an Asian," I said.
"Yo, you do not blend in." my friend said as she passed some delicious-looking berries.
"What are you talking about?"
"You don't dress like a Beijinger. I mean, maybe you can pass as a Shanghai person, but not a local."
"Do I radiate 'New Yorker' vibes or something?"
"I don't know, but certainly not Beijinger."
Maybe the ridiculously tight lime pants, which I purchased yesterday, will help me blend in.
