I definitely get the odd look here in Mexico just for being a Singaporean-Chinese fellow, and my fiancee is pale as snow even though she lived between MX, UK, HK and SG

I've also spent my entire life in Singapore while she's spent the last eight so neither of us needed to drive since everything was never more than an hour away by public transport (we're both quite young but she has family here in Quintana Roo)

That said, getting a license is definitely a priority but we've only just started settling into the house and fixing things up, we didn't have a working gasline or stove until recently
