Have been experiencing a few relatively interesting encounters ever since I returned from China last Friday.

It started with my cab ride last Sunday. The taxi driver insisted I was a tourist. She bombarded me with a host of other conversations revolving around my 'un-Singaporean' look till I reached my destination.

Then I was in this shop on Wednesday. When I was at the cashier, she asked if I am staying in Singapore. When I told her 'yah, why?' she told me that she will then give me a 10% discount card.

Last night when I was along the bay at Esplanade with a group of friends, the man holding a brochure approached only me and asked if I was interested in taking the boat ride, mistaking me for a tourist again.

Three consecutive encounters. (I was at home on Monday and Tuesday, so it can be considered as consecutive =) I wonder if I have changed since I came back from my holiday.
