Have You Seen My Bule?

Have You Seen My Bule?

"Bule," is a mildly derogatory term for, "foreigner."

Throughout my time here, I have heard many people openly refer to us as foreigners, but they often do not to expect that we know the meaning.

Sometimes, while out and about, I lose track of Eliza. This is one of the few times that being the two most ostentatious looking people in the room is helpful.

I now have a new method of finding her.

I approach almost anyone within a 50 foot radius of me and ask, "Have you seen my bule?"

*Blink*
Their eyes show their brains screaming, "Bule say waaaaat?"

I ask again, "Have you seen my bule?"

Then I receive a response. "Yes." They point. I find Eliza. My bule.

Here is a photo of my bule:
