It's all the other way around. I mean, when I first came here, I laughed at the people here when they stay long enough under the sun to get tan. While, we would cover ourselves under an umbrella or stay away from the sun altogether. We like the fair skin. I always carry a skin whitening lotion before. On the other hand, people here are amazed how I am obsessed with my skin. I can't be sitting under the sun like other people do. I even cover my arms with long sleeves shirt when I mow my lawn.
