When I tell Swiss people that I am from South Africa some typical reactions are: "but don't Africans speak French?", and / or: "but you're not black!?"

actually i just changed my profile pic to be a picture of xBox360 controllers in like an hour ago...... but its still my old one

you need to change your Avatar, that's the one that shows on the posts.

what is this show ? i like it xxxx

King of the Hill.

It ran for 13 seasons essentially in North American. Essentially about the generic amercian family and neighborhood in Texas.

It's very slow to get into, but once you see how deep the characters are developed and the commentary on 'life in america', the show is absolutely brilliant.

oh yeh. thank you ^___^ .. im the Ying Yang xBox360 controllers now ...
but yes, that was me ?

you get a freebie then, noob....

Why you two continuing your conversation in the "hardbruecke-bahnhofe ?

but there is more than half of the population there are black yeh?

to feel hows it like if continuing the conversation

wait ANOTHER female gamer on EF????


There is something rotten in the state of Denmark.....

dont worry, we Singaporeans get it all the time.

"oh you're from Singapore???? ni hao!!!! I love thai food!"

Another classic: "your English is superb for a Singaporean". Yes dimwit, because our main language is English.

Must.bite.my.tongue.

there is a lot more female gamer in the world than what you thought..
at least many in asia from what i know
oh , i didnt know i have mentioned that I am one of them? : )

I was a female gambler ,I lost

i got that too but i speak ok is more because i was pushed by my english teacher mom...
but something weird was i got chinese people asking me why do i speak mandarin ...

btw I loved the milk tea in that Lau Pa Sat!!! went there with my parents this Feb .. <3

This kind of stuff happens ALL the time, everywhere. You can't get upset about it or you'll just be miserable! lol.

When I tell people I'm Portuguese they will ask either if I speak Spanish or Brazilian! Hello!? I do speak Spanish but not because I'm from Portugal!

Of course we all know the "do you/they speak Swiss" one.

My Chinese friend is constantly told by people how much they like sushi. She just tells them that she does to, what her favorite restaurants are, etc.

And a Austria friend of mine often got "I didn't know they spoke German in Australia."

I think people are just trying to be friendly. They don't KNOW that they don't know what they are talking about.
