Like a local

At first I thought it was just something people said to be nice, but I was wrong: most people here really think Milli looks Egyptian. People frequently just start talking in Arabic to her. And today an Egyptian pulled up next to us and asked her for directions!

Me? Not so much.

That's so funny!! They wouldn't ask me for directions either, Nate. Curse our blond-haired blue-eyed ways! :)

Its all context. Here, in England, we pass as locals... at least till we open our mouths... you just need a change of location and then you'll fit in.
