Asian female travelling in Peru

I feel like a celebrity. People are usually curious and a bit in awe when I tell them I'm from Canada. Lots of Chifa's (Peruvian Chinese restaurants) try to convince me to eat in their establishment. People on the street would say hi to me in Japanese. I would shake my head "no" and then they would try Chinese. I would smile and tell them I'm from Canada. And then they would ask if I speak French. It's a bit of a game and all parties are usually smiling at the end. Not at all like some of the condescending attitude I recieved in Argentina. Maybe I should learn French. That would just blow their minds.
