I would probably move away or something hoping he would take a hint. lol Glad you were ok and nothing happened though.Aisaziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15709263767475853428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794518577624287475.post-57621144060764230262012-01-01T17:43:58.370-06:002012-01-01T17:43:58.370-06:00@Aisazia At first it didn't bug me at all, wh...@<a href="#c1988525257466036405" rel="nofollow">Aisazia</a> At first it didn't bug me at all, when you stand out that much, you're forgiven a lot of social faux pas, but after awhile it got kinda creepy, especially with the middle aged men. The guys my age wouldn't give me a second glance, in fact, they went out of their way to avoid looking at me, but the business men were really blatant.Becca Hillburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07105718152078435585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794518577624287475.post-11325693766210067942012-01-01T17:42:31.073-06:002012-01-01T17:42:31.073-06:00@Gwynne Platz I would love to visit Turkey!

Lo...Wow, thanks for sharing your post and pictures! Looked like a lot of fun! Sorry to hear you were sick part of it. :( It was still a good experience that I'm sure you'll remember. :)<br /><br />Loved seeing all the sketches and photos you took, I find it interesting about the Disney Sea. Doesn't seem as popular as I thought it would have been. Interested in seeing how they used anime influences on Ariel and Jasmine.<br /><br />Huh, yeah when I went to Taiwan I didn't stand out too much physically (I'm Chinese American) but only when I spoke English is when people started to stare. I can only imagine how hard it would be to be stared at, especially with a camera in your face. lolAisaziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15709263767475853428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794518577624287475.post-426212846157094292011-12-28T16:25:38.258-06:002011-12-28T16:25:38.258-06:00I *really* enjoyed this post. It's interesting...I *really* enjoyed this post. It's interesting to see for the culture, and hearing your personal experiences as someone who has previously been interested but isn't quite to the crazy fan level. <br /><br />I spent 2 weeks in Turkey and by the end I had similar feelings to yours - not so much wanting to be home, but feeling very much out of place and beginning to catch the glances of the locals basically putting up with us. That's with knowing a good deal of the language, too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13766726884580813784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794518577624287475.post-72216192182424025132011-12-28T00:57:35.579-06:002011-12-28T00:57:35.579-06:00C: This post made me so happy.

From the photos you provided it looks even (dare I say much) more immaculately maintained and contrived than its American counterpart. I realize that gives it a certain degree of fakeness, but I noticed parts of Disney World where the plaster was starting to flake, the trash littered the streets, areas of the park hadn't been updated in at least 20 years, and that rides had become, in general, a way to get you to move from one giftshop to the next. I suppose both have their pros and cons, but I think comparing the two is interesting.<br /><br />Disney aside, thanks for all the cultural pictures/sketches and the little tidbits of information. (Like the bit about trees in Japan being curvy. Cool!)Ceiling Cowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08566694701172948183noreply@blogger.com
