Pay more with a white face


Last Friday we called for water. My helper answered the door and gave the man money for the water because I was busy getting ready. Since we got here, we've always paid the man 30. About 3 or so months ago it went up to 32. No big deal, that is still only about $4.50 for 2 of those big water jugs pictured.
When Ayi answered the door, they only charged her 28! I couldn't believe it! The injustice of it all!!! When Ayi and I talked about it we laughed and she said "Weiguoren" (pronounced why gwo ren." It means, foreigner. So they charge me more money because of my white face!
