agree re the wide open eyes BUT then you have fair skinned Aussies like me who have 2 shades of colour - white or tomato red.The sun even just looks at me & I turn red.After all these years I have learnt to acdept the fact that I can not tan <LOL> Anywhere in the tropics I cover up with a light weight long sleeve top because I burnt horribly BUT I have learnt that over many years.I am no longer in my teens or 20's so brown skin is not a big deal to me.I have local Balinese friends who say they wished they had such lovely pale white skin like me <VBG>
Looking back many years ago I laugh at our kids on their first trip to Bali - their heads were almost swiveling like the Linda Blair in the Exorcist! The shopkeepers were all running after them as we were dragging them along behind us.
