They are rude and obnoxious in Asia because nobody is stopping them and putting them into their place, and you know exactly whose fault that is, the locals themselves.

Andrew, it's your friend Richard here. I have to agree with Zboy and from your pictures I could sense a subtle Middle Eastern ancestry perhaps some time in the (distant?) past. However, your eyes (just like mine) can't be mistaken for anything other than East Asian.

The natural East Asian female with the almond shaped eyes and high cheekbones is one of the most beautiful creations of nature.
