it's interesting with my fiance and i. she is from El Salvador, and i'm a whitey, woot! anyways, she's got lots and lots of relatives, most of whom i still have not met. but it never fails, when i end up meeting them for the first time, it's like they're all wowed, or shocked a little bit. and for a little while during the visit, i'll get the stares. but after a while, it wears off. they always treat me very nicely though which is great.
funny.... one year she was getting homesick. she hardly ever visits El Salvador much as it's lot's of money flyin down there from orange county, ca. but that's besides the point. so the one year, i ended up going with her. this was, of course, my first visit to El Salvador and it was quite an experience. I NEVER SAW ONE WHITE PERSON THERE AT ALL! lol, everywhere we walked people seemed so suprised i was there. fun trip though.
