Further from the truth

In my group there was one Indonesian Chinese family as well as a Korean girl . 

When the Korean girl started chattering excitedly about the Mc Donald's just opposite our hotel the next day , she momentarily managed to make my blood run cold .

One LOST in Germany

The train attack on that very unfortunate family from Hong Kong has managed to do one thing .

Keep most of us oriental looking people away . From Germany .

 Japs , Koreans , Hongkies , Thais , ABC's , Chinese ....these asshats can't tell the difference between us  ...we all look the same to them . They can't tell the difference

But many of my kind , have developed an incurable affliction towards travel and it is only a matter of time before you spot us trickling back in . 

However , to do so requires big balls . Especially when you have relatives back home who constantly barrage you on the dangers of that one particular place based on what they've seen in the news . 

While it was indeed a rare thing to spot another oriental in Germany ,

if I ever did meet another , especially if she were a LOST ( Lone Oriental Single Traveller ) the signs were all there . Constantly on guard , nervous , struggling with that inner demon to take or not take THAT picture at the heightened risk of having your device snatched away .

So happened that I stumbled upon this young lady the first night I arrived in Frankfurt .
