May I please rant...... that I am completely over the men here. Hating being different & that they are unaccepting of this. Well they probably are accepting of it but why can't I just walk around and not be gawked at, whistled at or followed. I don't mind if men say hi but if I say hi back am I being suggestive or just nice? I am trying to be nice but tend to ignore and keep walking, especially as they stare and smile and follow my every move with their eyes. I wish I could wear a burqa some days & just go around carefree.
And then I try to use my somewhat now basic Indonesian since time has elapsed and I've forgotten a fair bit & when complicated situations arise and I try to explain my point, they laugh. It's so rude. They don't seem to laugh at Ben and they try to talk to him. Being a man here trumps being a woman in a million ways!!
Bahhh!
How's the teaching going?
