Oh now I look Filipino

Met a Filipino couple on the bus. I knew they were Filipino cos' they were speaking Tagalog. I knew it was Tagalog cos' I heard my Filipino friends spoke before.

They were sitting behind me. And just before they were about to alight, the guy asked me,"aRe you Filipino?"
"Nope, I am Lao."
"SoRRy!SoRRy! I thought you weRe Filipino. You look like Filipino...Have a nice holiday."

but we can always expect people to mistake us for either thai, filipinos, lao, viet, malaysian... i always get that aside from being mistaken as taiwanese, korean, japanese and even bhutanese.
