sticking out

In China I stood out.
But here in Nairobi I stand out even more.
White skin, light hair and a big belly.

Makes for a lot of staring!
My favourite type of stare is when the person is walking past, but they are so fascinated they stop and turn to watch me pass, then keep turning as they walk away to check on the sight.
Then I catch their eye - and sometimes catch the word 'mzungu', or 'wazungu' (one or two foreigners).
