I know exactly what you mean Gary.
I lived with my family in a regional Chinese city for 2yrs.
This "regional" city had a population of 5 million, & when we were there this city had a foreign population of 52. Yep, 52.
You might say we had to learn Chinese pretty quick.
And yes, there wasn't a day go by in 2yrs that we didn,t meet a local who had never even seen a foreigner, let alone met one.
Was one of the best 2yrs of my life to date. I get back there every couple of yrs to visit friends & business.
Here's a pic of a local lady with our little one & a pic of my wife on the street shopping.
