local color.

"Perhaps, like most of us in foreign countries, he was incapable of placing people, selecting a frame for their picture, as he would at home; therefore all Americans had to be judged in a pretty equal light, and on this basis his companions appeared to be tolerable examples of local color and national character."
from: Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote

Yes, and I still ask myself with what kind of people I was hanging with when I was travelling last summer.
Oh, by the way.
In Tokyo many girls do their make-up on the train, and one day when i was in really a hurry I did it, too.
Not until recently would I have known that this is quite an embarassing behaviour, even though those girls do it.
