"Coffee shops here are for a male clients. I sat inside one having coffee one time and everyone looked like I was crazy," said another expat in Blida, Algeria.
"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," wrote a member who made the move to Annaba, Algeria.
