I really need to travel more. I enjoyed reading this, again, Dendrophobe.“Good friends are so close, they are like part of you,” Danny said. “Why would you say please or thank you to yourself? It doesn’t make sense.”
-I liked that. I've never travelled to China. I know that mk has a number of times and steve was just there. steve, did you find that in China, people were more abrupt? Did you find this rubbed off on you?
Travel is tough with littles at home. Someday, my man... regarding the please and thank you thing... I read this and wondered a lot about my experience. People are fairly abrupt, but I'm not enough of an expert on the culture or the language to really weigh in on the subject. I did hear a lot of thank yous though...
