.............. when the 50-something man in line ahead of me at the arabic market looked over my purchases and nodded and then looked at me and nodded and said, "Iraqi?"
See, it wasn't that I wanted to be Iraqi or any other nationality, but normally when I go in there, they look at me like I'm from the moon.
Suddenly, I felt like I was in. Like they saw me as someone they could chat with, not some alien life form.
Plus, I learned from him that garbonzo beans are the Iraqi equivalent of beer nuts.
