So it's not a Dublin thing... or maybe it is something to do with island nations and small-mindedness ;) Sadly, you get the same treatment in Tokyo by cabbies who ask similar questions if you are speaking to your friends in fluent non-Japanese languages.

People stare at me an awful lot of the time in restrauants and pubs im a six foot female and i do like to wear heels some times(that would be 6'3)! you tend to get droped jaws of disbelief and comments(giant, transvestite etc). sometimes i just ignore but there has been a few occasions i have turned around and spoke my mind and it has given me satifaction to do so. I suppose what im trying to say is that it doesnt matter if your black white yellow or blue! your going to get stared at for being a bit different(dress, height, body weight). As time has gone on i have learned to live with it. and i do have a tendency to do a little bit of my own staring when a group of hot totties walk by and every race has some of them i wouldnt be staring because of there race but maybe because of there beautiful looks and great dress sense!
