Hmong albino girl - Laos

I even this little albino girl in a Hmong village, but when she saw me (a white skin person like her) she cried a lot and ran into her house. I never saw a little girl so frighten.. I imagine she had not seen many foreigners... She was really cute.

But.. having an albino girl in Hmong culture is really a bad sign and is not a happy time for parents... i showed the other the pictures of the tanzanian albinos kids i met last month. She was surprised to see that black people could have white skin, too!
