True story

I was walking in public with my daughter and suddenly noticed everyone staring. I had been so used to the idea of being in China by now and everyone staring at OTHER things that I just naturally turned to see what they were all staring at only to see another row of faces staring at us. I did get a bit of a kick outta that. (Something akin to not looking where you're going and bumping into "someone" only to apologize to a street post or some similar object.)
