In Australia, it's people from Asian countries who most often recognise me. There are often people just looking at me at the supermarket, like they're shocked to think I would go to the supermarket.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People recognize me, but they don't know where from. Today I was in the elevator and somebody asked me if I worked for his company.
People sorta know my face, but I can still go out to the supermarket, and nobody pays much attention.
Sometimes when Australians go overseas, it's as though the 'Aussie' is refined out of them. I don't know why. It's never happened to me, because I'm really proud of it. I'm not embarrassed about where I'm from or who I am any more. I know who I am. I don't fit in everywhere, but I know where I do fit in.
A lot of people in line at the grocery store think that they know me, but they don't.
Occasionally people will look at me and do a double take and they'll look at me like they're trying to think where they know me from.
I rarely get recognised. It's always a shock when someone notices me. I always think they must be confusing me with someone else.
I walk around talking to myself in accents. Usually people look at me like I'm a complete fruit loop.
I usually get freaked out if I'm in a situation where a lot of people recognise me at once.
People look at me and they don't see what they think is a typical Aboriginal.
People look at me, and I dress a little unusually and they think, 'Oh you must be from California.' Of course, people in California think, 'Oh you must be from from Mars,' so, you know, your next-door neighbour is not necessarily the person that you are going to make a connection with.
