A friend and I jut got to Brussels on a Friday and decided to go to a bar. A group of Belgian guys were sitting near us and one of them came over to chat/hit on me. In his broken English, he told my friend and I that we were so beautiful and he’s never seen such a gorgeous Mexican woman, referring to me. Well, I’m Asian and started laughing so hard at him, but not before he decided to try and stick his tongue down my throat. I pushed him out of my booth and told him to leave with his friends.

Athens. We were visiting a historical site with a tour group ,when an old American man fell down . A Greek man from a nearby souvenir shop comes running while (very) loudly asking “DO YOU WANT TO SH*T?????” Our whole tour group was in tears with laughter while the old man and his wife were speechless at the difference one letter can make.

While in India I’ve had two men, in different situations, full on grope me. One of the guys who was the manager at the guest house i was staying in offered to pay my accommodation fees if he could suck my dick. I refused the offer and he later ended up just grabbing it anyways without my permission. The other instance was in Agra. This guy started walking beside me, trying to hold my hand, asking for a kiss, and “just one touch… please.” It was pretty uncomfortable for me and I wanted to knock him flat.

Amsterdam. Got separated from husband boarding the train to Schipol. He told me to wait on the platform and he would come find me. I was wearing a sundress with no pockets so he had my phone, ID and money. I waited and waited. While I waited I was approached first by some French guy who sat down next to me and took my hand and tried to sweet talk me into a hookup. After he left, some middle eastern dude tried the same thing. It was comical.
