The Pros and Cons of Wearing Your Ethiopian Scarf in Jo'burg

So we're sitting in an internet cafe in Soweto, waiting to catch a shuttle over to Soccer City for the Ivory Coast/Brasil game (GO ELEPHANTS). Instead of filling y'all in on the last couple of days, I'm going to run through the issues concerning a contentious scarf.

Pros
1. When walking around Little Ethiopia in Jo'burg, Ethiopians are happy to see one of their kin donning the scarf. This usually leads to random conversations (mostly about Ethiopia, but sometimes people branch out). Bottom line - people are friendly.
2. That may be the only pro.

Cons
This applies to wearing the scarf within the club, specifically. When wearing you scarf, the following may or may not happen:
1. Drunk Ethiopians may attempt ridiculous conversations, despite your clear disinterest in them.
2. Drunk Ethiopians may take your scarf and wave it in the air, screaming "Etyopia, Etyopia, it is ze best!". And not when Waving Flag is playing - when a 50 Cent song is playing.
3. Drunk Ethiopians may grab your scarf and smell it, while reminiscing about the mother country.
4. Drunk Ethiopians may get into bar fights when other men approach said woman with Ethiopian scarf.

Gosh, I love my people.
