disclaimer: for those who have not seen me, i am as white as a bleached anus of an arctic fox burrowing in a pile of fleshly fallen snow in the forests of siberia.
today i was doing an annual checkup in union medica. after a long waiting time i sat down to have blood sample taken. the nurse took a look at my name (unmistakably eastern european) and my pale face and then started small talk.
nurse: are you from brasil?
me: no, i am from poland.
nurse: oh, an asian country.
nurse helper (peeking inside to listen to our conversation): i told you she looked asian!
nurse: so, you must take 3 or 4 planes to get home.
me: only two.
nurse: it is a long journey through the equator.
