"I went to a store, and speak English, the seller yell ' eee sinuiyyaa', which means, she is a Chinese. I am not a Chinese, but here people call all non-european foreigners Chinese," remarked another expat who made the move to Annaba, Algeria.

"Coffee shops here are for a male clients. I sat inside one having coffee one time and everyone looked like I was crazy," explained one expat living in Blida, Algeria.
