ŽIVOT A STĚHOVÁNÍ—LIVING AND MOVING Normal to get looks?
Hey I apologize in advance if it's a stupid question. But I've been getting looks and stares whenever I'm on the public transport, especially and mostly from older people like the elderly and some men around mid 30s and older. And they have this look that makes me feel like I should get out of their sight. One drunk guy turned to me and asked me where I was from after he heard he speaking in my native tongue when I was on the phone (I don't think I was talking) and later on started asking me the typical Asian stereotype questions but I'm not going to dwell on that cause he was drunk Lol.
Doesn't Brno have like a size-able international student body, so shouldn't they be used to unfamiliar faces? On top of that isn't there a lot of Vietnamese in both Prague and Brno? I'm also from the SEA (but I don't really look like it as I've been told by some, you can go to my profile to see my posts to see what I look like lol) so I don't get why they aren't used to SEAsians? I just got here a few days ago and am still in the process of adjusting. And I social anxiety so all these staring and looks don't really help at all.
