Masala Chai?

I love masala chai (Indian tea with milk/spices), so I ordered a pot this morning during breakfast. It was delicious with fresh cardamom pods. I had 2 cups full. The waiter came to me, and said:

'How do you know masala chai? You from India?'

Me: 'Yes, i'm Indian, do I not look Indian?'
Him: 'You look like you're from Dubai'.

A lot of people who see me never know where i'm from. It's nice in a way--I blend in with everything and anything.

But sometimes it's weird not to be recognized by your own 'people' per se. Oh well.

Comes with the territory.
Next occupation (as I used to joke with my med school friends): SPY!
