I spent time in Turkey in 1991

When my husband and I were in the Philippines
in 1989...we visited a remote island there where his
parents were Missionaries. One day visiting the market with my mother-in-law, I actually had people touching
my hair (I am also blonde hair and green eyed). They had never seen someone so fair and I guess felt like it was good luck to touch it. It of course scared me at the time. Now we have decided not to take our kids there to visit. So many kidnappings (more so than then). Not the Philippines that is was in '89

I've had that happen too - Several places.

The first time, I was on top of the WTC and a group of Japanese Tourists were there and they kept touching my hair. It's weird, that's for sure!


We could be sisters.... ;-)
