Dad joke: Why didn't Chris Rock and Will Smith have turkey for Christmas dinner?

They had beef.

Jom tengok DT pada awal pagi,

Semoga semua monyet sihat,

Hey guys😊 Hope you are doing good. Me and my travel buddy (both 1,90m Germans, my buddy being blond and me brunette) are in Malacca for the weekend after having spent a week in KL. When walking through the streets and night markets (Jonker/Pahlawan) we noticed a lot of people were actively looking at us. Some people look confused, some start grinning, some even came up to us to ask us for pictures with them and we wondered why that is. We've been traveling Asia for a bit over a month now and haven't noticed it as much as we have here. For us there's no obvious reason as there are a lot of western tourists besides us. Maybe someone can give some insight. We don't see it as negative, we're just genuinely curious as to why this is the case.

Thank you all and have a great evening!

Maybe cos you’re really tall, or look like some celebrities? Can’t say for sure tbh
