Being an Asian Bull in Europe






Story Outline: this is a story about my own experience, what happened back in 2003 while I was backpacking through different cities in mid-western Europe. I wasn't really a bull, but in hindsight, I could have appeared just as careless and obnoxious as one. I was funding my trip selling my calligraphy works on the street. It was a lot of fun, but doing that, I ran into some unexpected situations; half of them to do with cultural difference, and the other half from my plain stupidity. Through this paper, I'd like to introduce a couple of episodes related to the cultural difference aspects.
