    Same here. When I went out to Ohio I didn't see 1 Asian person...it was so weird when I walked into McDonald's and the families closest to the door just stare lol. Come to think of it, I didn't see any Hondas or Toyotas either xD

    Star goes with Starring, Stare goes with Staring

    maybe you tend to notice Chinese people more than others because you're Chinese.. but i think other people probably look at you too; you just don't notice. and yeah, i agree with what a lot of people said: if you wear that out on the street, there's bound to be stares all around. and not ALL Chinese stare.. you just happen to noticed people.. especially Chinese people in London who stare at you.. and FYI: i absolutely HATE stereotypes.

    haha, I have the opposite problem ^^'' I'm chinese and I live in France since my birth. At some places like Normandy, people keep starring at chinese people as if we come from another planet T___T

    happened to me when i was on the bus and this chinese dude gave me this hello nod, i didnt know who he was but he did look sorta familiar (maybe because a lot of asian people look alike). so i just nod back, well its common courtesy.
