Being the Only Glass of Milk Surrounded by Oreos

Today we went to the Village to clean out Mamma's place for the wedding.  Yup.. Thats right.  A wedding!  So let me back track a moment here. Sa, who is Mon's niece, and her boyfriend have decided to tie the knot at the end of February.  Which means I get to see a Thai wedding while I'm here!
After a couple hours of cleaning we went to watch the soccer games that were happening a block away.  The second game we watched actually included some professional Thai soccer players.

My pastiness  

The professional soccer players sure got a lot of buzz, but I was giving them a run for their money!  I was the only white person there and I mean literally!  I was very uncomfortable with the amount of attention that I received.  In Thailand they are not at all subtle about staring.  It's not only children but adults as well.  I had people point, laugh, and whisper about me.  I had kids stop right in front of me practically blocking my vision.  And they would remain there for a good thirty seconds to a minute.  I even had people informing others of my presence resulting in even more stares!  After the game while we were walking back to Mamma's place and I had a women shouting to everyone about me.  She was pointing and laughing while getting everyone else's attention.  I have never felt so uncomfortable and downgraded in my life.  I have to say it was hard to have that kinda attention all day but I continued to hold my head up high and have confidence in myself.
