Miami11:Italy... I went with my husband (then boyfriend) last year. The men are quite forward in their appreciation of fine women haha. I believe $3x is all they'd want, nothing more. |

Back in New Delhi a few years ago, we blacks were a centre of attraction. Most Indians can stare till your spirit leaves your body. I recall 2011 new year, I was in Greenplace, Delhi hanging out with Nigerian friends, some locals were just staring like we're aliens. Some cute chinkies came around, left their partners to come party, I went Sarojini Nagar market to buy some stuffs and the marketers were so amazed and started asking about how Nigeria looked like, his son Sandep said he's sold gold jewelleries in Kaduna and Kano. I in an elevator in Premius superspecialty Hospital, opposite US Embassy, Delhi, when a middle aged Arabian man joined and immediately he saw me, he started in his arabian accent telling me he's from Afghanistan, they're peaceful, I'm nigerian we're also peaceful. In my mind I was like wtf! Cos some white Europeans were in the elevator too and they went pale with fear of A Nigerian and an Afghan. Also, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, they've got very serious lookers. Especially their old ones. I've had cause to get some items on a discount due to my skin colour, and also I've been cheated because of my colour. I have some pictures I took with strangers, all because they wanna take pictures with a black man. 4 Likes |

lomomike:India is interesting. My husband once worked in Mumbai for a few weeks and the kids apparently like to beg black people as they are more likely to give them money. Haha, you too have pictures out there with strangers . Do.you occasionally wonder where they end up? |
Re: Becoming A Tourist Attraction Because You Are Black; Experiences Abroad? by Nobody: 1:29pm On Nov 11, 2014 |
Flytefalls: Then, did Mike care where his pictures will end up even if its in a shrine or temple ? I actually did it because I was feeling like a celebrity. |

Phema: Not black per se, they are mostly Oromo and Amhara race which are lighter coloured, dark shiny wool hair, delicate frame, most of them have delicate frame, but very beautiful. |

lomomike: So true. Had a stop-over @Addis in March on my way to South-Sudan(humanitarian trip), so i ended up staying 2 nights in Addis, one going and one coming back to Abuja. I used the word "exotic" to describe some Ethiopian babes at Global Hotel, and ever since, my boss calls me 'exotic!' LOL. Twas my first time leaving Naija, and i found Addis to be sooo cold! I wonder what will happen when i get to these European countries y'all are mentioning ooo. I speak Swahili so i got so much love from the Kenyan waitresses at the hotel in Juba, South Sudan, while my bosses just gawked at me, hhahahahhaa. I'm from Tanzania but have virtually spent my whole life here in Nigeria. Ah, I can't wait to travel out again! 1 Like |

jcgodfrey: Addis Ababa is a lovely place. It speaks of itself as a beautiful genuine African capital. I love the day time weather. Its cold at night, but they've got very comfy hotels and inns. They also have good power supply system (I didn't experience any power outage during my stay there). Their ladies are stunning and are 'straight gorgey' they got dark lovely eyes with beautiful brown skins and perfect long curly shiny silk/woolly hair to perfect their looks. They've got a look that can stun a stranger and they look at people deeply yet shyly. |
