在地球的每个角落都少不了中国人和印度人,中东也不例外。但在中东,无论是劳工层还是管理层,印度人都占了大多数。换句话说,我身边遇到的生意及工作伙伴大都是印度朋友。还没自我介绍时,大都以为我是韩国日本人,(真搞不懂为什么小眼睛总被列为韩国日本人?)自我介绍后,他们总是称我为‘佳’,真的搞不懂,我已经给他们解释了,我的名有两个字,是‘佳X’,不是‘佳’,他们仍然一意孤行叫我‘佳’。我真搞不懂他们,是我解释的不好还是他们的执著。每次出差都遇着不同国际的人,就只有印度朋友搞不懂我的名和姓。
曾经问过一个叫我‘小佳’的好朋友,他很无聊地说他喜欢,因为小佳很好听很适合我。。。我现在终于了解他可能也有印度朋友的血统。
想念这个大学时期的好朋友,不知最近新婚的他好不好。。。
