[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was in Turkey, all the shopkeepers immediately knew I was American. I asked a couple why they thought that and they all said some version of, "big white teeth and smiling at nothing in particular"[/quote] LOL. Funny you mentioned Turkey. When I was traveling with DH in Istanbul, we'd see this guy standing outside a restaurant hustling for customers. He'd loudly call out to tourists walking by: Japanese couple! Come on in! German family! You'll enjoy what we have! American couple! We have a treat for you! When he saw us he hesitated: we're a nondescript mixed couple with not particularly white or straight teeth. However, after a split second he quickly recovered and called out: International couple! Come enjoy our food! [/quote]
