Hope I don’t jinx myself…. when I travel I have great luck meeting people. Often, too good. When I want to enjoy a majestic site quietly by myself, a kindhearted local starts telling me everything he knows about it. Its great there’s so many nice people out there…but then again, did I ask you? Please just leave me alone occasionally… My last trip I specifically accepted every offer & I ended up having the best time ever. But that was South Africa & their culture is lot like mine. More importantly, they’re not desperate to leave their country. It’s easier to trust someone when you’re pretty sure they don’t want anything from you. Yesterday I had my first marriage proposal… I’m a little worried I’m loosing it since it took so long but then again I’ve been wearing a wedding ring…. Either way, I know it’s not about me but that man’s desperation to get out of his current situation. (I’ll go on another time about ALL the local women with dirty old fat white men.) Yesterday I also had a local man invite me to a birthday party tonight. I already said no but now I’m wondering if maybe a cultural bias might keep from having a fun experience…
