glad that I'm a pushy white woman. When people treat me aggressively I am more than willing to turn the tables. I've noticed their favourite habit is to invade your personal body space totally and to wave their hands in your face intimidatingly. So I do the same. Last time I did it I was with my local friends, who we are blessed to have, and they clapped and laughed, and said 'you're becoming Indonesian'. It might not be right, but it's what I do.
I also walk off on anyone who ever tries to put the price up on my after we agree. Doesn't that shock them?
