[QUOTE="Jodean, post: 1202234, member: 49284"] As a tour guide in Frankfurt, we get people joining our tours from all around the world. I gave up on guessing accents a long, long time ago. For me, what works best is to ask people where they live. Where they are from feels like a personal intrusion. If they want to tell me they are Spanish, even though they live in Iceland at some point during the tour, that is fine, other than that, why is it important to know where people are "From"? I like to know where they live. Do you like the heat of Singapore, or the snowy winters in Sweden, or Carnival in Brazil? People will tell you where they are from during conversation, you don't have to ask them. My last 2 Caminos were in April & May, last year and this year on the CF. This year, I believe Korea was the #1 nationality during this time period. There was also a group from Singapore walking over the Pyrenees at the same time we were and they were having a blast throwing snowballs and enjoying their first experience with snow. There were a few people from Taiwan, Japan, and India. Honestly, the only POC I have seen though, on 5 Caminos have been Brazilians or from the UK. Some of the FB Camino womens' groups have a few members that aren't white, but not very many. [/QUOTE]
