I always find this fascinating. Where I grew up we were always taught on school that we have to talk quietly, even in public spaces out of respect. This is something still ingrained in me. Now the problem is whoever I’m with can’t always hear me.

I’m the opposite to you, white woman. And I get stereotyped too wherever I go.

I have had many restaurants tell me they won’t make me a certain meal because I won’t like or it will be too spicy for me. My favourite food is sichuan cuisine and I eat a lot of spice and almost everything. One of my favourite meals is tendon noodle soup. I know I eat a lot of food considered “adventurous” by other white woman. It’s just the way of the world.
