Questions questions questions.......

I lived up north in a province called Jilin , in a small city of one million people called Dunhua !!

There is absolutely NOTHING to do in that city except DRINK DRINK DRINK .........followed by puking on the streets !! I was the first white foreigner to enter that city , so u can imagine the stares and questions i got !!

A normal taxi ride would go as follows (in chinese of course):   " Where are you from ? "   "How much money do you make"? (money is the ONLY thing they care about here)   " How old are you " ? and "Do you have a boyfriend"?   ....like please give me a break ...i just need to go to the local market to buy some fruit !!!

Some people up there do speak a little english including my highschool students ! They would see me walking down the street and run right up to me .....it's of course NOT a Hi how are you ....it's            " Where are you going" ? ......i don't know about you all but I HATE that question ....when someone wants to know my personal business it REALLY bothers me ! To them this is a kind thing ...to me ..it's just plain NOSY!!!!! They also have a very abrupt way of speaking English so it comes out even more rude sounding !

EVERYDAY at work  ....the nosy old cleaning ladies ask me " What did u eat for dinner lastnight" ......"Did ur husband cook for you"? ......"how much were your shoes"? ......"Will ur hubby meet u tonight "?  ....."Did he bring you to work today ?" ........when u first walk in ...not wanting to be there in the first place ...those things are SOOO not important ! Just plain NOSY !!!

When they get nosy just go in full bitch mode..... arched eye brow
hands on hip high heels a tapping and just say bitch! thats none of your god damn fucking business!
Stand your ground and don't take their shit! Stop bottling it in, sure it may not win you many friends but it will win you respect and they will stop treating you as a doormat. Anyway thats just my opinion I just hate seeing you treated badly and suffering emotionally as a result, I know there are things you need to take into consideration such as hubby etc but there comes a time you need to stand your ground sweetheart, anyway at least you can do it in your blogs LOL if not in real life.
Sincerely
