Waiguo ren! Waiguoren!

Waiguoren! Waiguoren! I must say that in 6 months in China I've had what many have told me it was a whisper that was part of the past, when people from outside when he saw very little, and you felt more than seen.

It has been so nice when I, an American and a Canadian going to the canteen we hear a child shouting "Foreigners, foreigners," a mixture "Dad looks" to "Turkish mother them." The child (4-7 years) has seen us (24-26) jumping and screaming like children "zhongguoren, zhongguoren!" (Cinese! Chinese!) And was thrilled, motionless, staring at us as we walked in the cafeteria. When you say upset by a change of perspective.
