My niece went to India and Nepal as part of her training as a Doctor. She has long blonde hair....she was forever being approached and touched in the same way.
Interestingly the word "orange" didn't exist in the English language and only became a word when the fruit first arrived in the country, the word "bled" in from various other languages.
Vietnam have a an "orange" type fruit that was white. It tasted somewhere between a sweet grapefruit and and orange and was very refreshing - quite expensive (relatively) compared to other fruits sold at the roadside, but for me was always the go-to for me for a Dollar or so. Sweet. One of my favourite roadside snacks.
