One of the lessons I've taken away from being in China is that I'm foreign. Whilst at home in my native England I was astonished to still be called a 'foreigner' by Chinese people on more than one accasion. But how could I be so dumb, this is what I was being taught the whole time I was in China, the world has two countries. China and Foreign. Interesting article on the BBC a while back. It said that the Chinese in New York were moaning about 'young foreigners' moving into China town and watering it down, bemoaning the opening of 'foreign' restaurants in the area. Who were these 'young foreigners?' Oh ... they were Americans.
