In wake of the Summer Olympics the Chinese government has informed its citizens not to pester foreigners with the following intrusive questions. According to posters they should not ask about:
- income or expenses
- age
- love life or marriage
- health
- someone’s home or address
- personal experience
- religious beliefs or political views
- what someone does
In Jalisco, Mexico, the Mexicans annoy you with all eight of these questions---EVERY DAY!
The number one question on their lips is ¿De donde eres?---"from where are you?"---leaving unsaid,"Oh I'm just being nosy and have nothing to add to this conversation. We're territorial and need to know where people come from...and anything else that isn't necessarily any of our business."
