No, I'm not kebaya.

There's quite a large Filipino expat population in Dubai, and apparently I look Filipina. Everytime I go out, Filipinos greet me with 'Kebaya' which means 'Fellow countryman' in Tagalog. If I smile they will rattle off a conversation in Tagalog.

Gypsy Boy will also get this when we are out together. However if he is alone, apparently he looks Chinese. His standard answer to whether he is from China is, "No, but my grandfather is though".

Almost tempting to invest in some of those tacky T-shirts and get 'No, I'm not kebaya' printed on them! Just to save repeating myself when I'm out.
