It’s often like this. There are only 5 native English peeps (excluding the many Filipino wives) in the town of Buan and we stand out. I say “hi” or “hello” about a thousand times a day, of which half to people I’ve never met. It is cute. I think sometimes i’m going to get tired of it, but it hasn’t annoyed me yet. Well, except perhaps on bad days. But on those days any cheerful talk is annoying.
