"Are you Japanese?" Repeated five times daily it stops being funny. I NEVER get Chinese, and certainly not American. >: )
Most Worthwhile Tourist Spot (on this trip, so far):
Molen van Sloten, a windmill just outside of Amsterdam. It's definitely unique! Plus, it gets you away from the tourist mob, and gives you a taste of the peaceful suburbs.
Most Surprising Fact:
Vincent Van Gogh only painted for a total of 10 years, from age 27 until he shot himself - though he was certainly prolific, producing more than 900 paintings and thousands of drawings during that time.
Funniest Moment:
Spotting reruns of 3rd Rock from the Sun on TV at the lobby of my hotel in Amsterdam.

Ha, that's funny. My husband and I were just talking about this phenomenon today. One elderly relative of mine always called anyone with brown skin "Mexican."
"Uhh, Aunt Helen, she's Indian. From India."
"Well, she's pretty. Mexican women are so pretty."
*sigh*
Hubby and I agreed that most ignant white people call all Asian people "Chinese".
Hoo.
Do you ever get, "What are you?" That's a good one, too.
