Last year, I was on a trip in Sanxiarenjia in Yichang,Hubei. I waited for the boat (take) me along the Yijiang River. Out of nowhere, a shirtless man ran up to me and asked to take a photo with me.
both smiled as he said I was the first foreigner he had ever seen. He said “thank you” and ran off again.
The experience was funny, and it wasn’t the first time this (happen) to me. In fact, almost all the foreigners I know in China have experienced the
thing. Girls with blonde hair seem to be the most
(photograph). Most of them were surprised at first, but they now enjoy having their photo taken with happy students.
Of course, many countries in the West are home to different ethnicities. So it is normal to see people look different. But it’s different in many areas of China.
Personally, I think it’s fine to take photos with strangers. But try to ask first. Once I (wait) for my friend in an art district when a group of girls began giggling (咯咯地笑) at their phones. I noticed one of them was pointing the camera at me,
(secret) taking photos. When I spotted them, they smiled and asked if they
take a photo with me. Maybe it is shyness, but I prefer when people ask
they take a photo. Most foreigners will say yes.
