And what about foreigners who learn chinese???
If a blond foreigner speaks Chinese does Chinese people find it strange?

When I open my Chinese books on the train (I only do that once in a while...) they usually look at me and smile. One time this old man who was sitting next to me even said something to me (I think he said something nice but I didn't understand it all...) which is very rare- they usually wont talk to me at all... But I'm not blond so... maybe this doesn't answer your question ;-)
