[quote=YINDUFFY,298406]The only such encounters I have enjoyed were with little children. I have a big moustache so I stand out even more. I have had kids approach me and ask if I was American. When I reply "Yes." they usually run back to their friends giggling. Often they jump at the chance to practice their English. Last Summer Our family went by Train from Beijing to Urumqi (Monday afternoon to Thursday morning) and in our car (Soft seats) I had plenty of opportunity to help students. Their parents encouraged the talks. In Xinjiang there are a lot of caucasian looking Uhigars and Russian businessmen so I did not get the attention I did in other parts of China. If older kids followed me and made rude remarks, I would be worried. That has not happened to me though.[/quote]
