Depends how far afield you are going, but where we like traveling (HKT, DPS, SEZ, MRU, MLE is a short list) Americans are relatively rare, so I felt we were viewed as an exotic species.

Granted, since me and Mrs. Pokeable are of Asian descent, everyone initially asks us if we are Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc.

No need to, as long as you don't wear white sneakers, chew gum, talk loudly and what are the other American stereotypes again....
