you are from but I have never had an Ozzy guy do that to me, nor have I seen it done in Australia or anywhere else.
They probably did get it from some foreigners though, but like many things they don't understand how bad it is. My husband still cannot believe the Balinese cat whistle at me or yell out things like "Hey Baby" as they go past us on our motorbike. I am starting to take it as a compliment as the grey hairs and wrinkles set in, he takes it as disrespectful as in a Western country men don't usually do that to married woman, especially when they are on the arm of their husband.
My husbands Balinese friends still make comments towards me if I wear something they think is sexy, even after he has explained many times to them that to him it is disrespectful. It's just a cultural thing that we have to get used to living in a different country like the million other things we have had to adjust to just to live in Paradise.
