By way of an addendum, I should concede that some white travelers don’t go in for the whole “obroni” thing, thinking, I suppose, that it is intended as some kind of slur. This is errant thinking in my view, and is only going to make that person’s stay here seem like a daily fusillade of abuse.
All things considered, it’s better to embrace it for what it is, an impulse of surprise and wonder little different in intent than that of a person spotting a man wearing a cape or a monkey smoking a cigar.
