Ok, speaking of glasses. There were times that a farang(s) asked me to take of my glasses when i met them for the first time or someone introduced us to each other. I said "no" when asked. They would find their way to make me take my glasses off, finally. Is that considered normal for westerns? Is that considered polite? Last time it happened was when i went to a welcome dinner (formal event) and I was one the host staff. Two american guests asked me to take my glasses off right there at the dining table where administrative board members gathered. The first thing they said to me was not a hi or a hello but "How old are you?" They didn't believe i'm 26. In the west, heard it's impolite when a stranger asks you how old you are? LOL Should i be a lil bit meaner when that happens again? (At the party, i kinda told them it was none of their business and i wouldn't be able to eat. lol)
