it doesn't matter if you're brown or white

My favorite thing about living in the far East is how no one really knows a stranger.

It is so commonplace to stop to play with other babies, and, when we don't know the language, to talk in hand motions and smiles.

 Joelle is checking out this other baby who was a little younger, but more ready to reach out and play.

 Wish you could see JoJo's face, she was a big, smiley, drooly mess.
