So the opposite is true, in Chinese, generic term referring to "White people" is Westerner. I remember thinking, Australia is clearly South, not West, Russia is clearly North, not West. America is clearly East, not West.
Preceding the work Westerner, it was "people from the Western seas", contrasting the "people from the Eastern seas", ie Japan.
Preceding that, the famous novel Journey to the West, published in 16th century, refer to central Asia.
West has been a generic word for foreign.
Levant, another word for where the Sun rises, which now refers to Near East, West Asian?
Similarly, Orient just means where the Sun rises, observing from the Western Europe. Somewhere in the general direction of East.
Somehow Orient falls out of fashion, replaced by Far East or East Asian, which is also the word East, which is equally vague as Orient. And when we though Asia is strong geographic indicator, all the people at the perimeter of this geographic reference also feel out of place, and it is likely the people at the perimeter are mixed.
The word Asian itself, it covers such a large land mass, you might as well just use the word Earthling. Orient isn't such a vague word afterall.

When you have lost your key, time to think like a theft: is there a spare key, is there a weak point. If it happens to be a car, 5 doors cars have extra weak points. One of my colleagues had once broken into his own house by breaking a pane of glass.
This will be the second time we walked an alpaca, last time we did it in Warwickshire. This time we got one each, this location is much more organised.
Sarah snapped us having the same expression.
The box cola bottle has got smaller, but I didn't know the cola bottles themselves also got smaller. The new box is 625g with about 250 cola bottles (2.5g each), the old box was 960g with about 300 cola bottles (3.2g each). Now I will properly look greedy eating these minitures!
YHA has tried their best to keep up with the competition. Their glamping options were not half bad, such as these pods in Grinton Lodge.
I can only complain about the blue tit(s) that shares our pod waking us up at dawn!
