Just to share a typical cultural misunderstanding... last Sunday I was in a bad mood and unfortunately messed up my weekly webcam appointment with my girlfriend. At the end as we were exchanging YM messages (because of server problems she can’t use a microphone) and she sternly wrote “I stop communicating with you” and was even more adamant when I proposed to call her on the phone and she just added “bye” and cut the communication.
I then went out for a walk in the afternoon and wondered how many days she would keep me away from her. In the evening, no message. I went to bed and on Monday morning found an e-mail from her saying: “I could not sleep last night and was waiting for your call....”
I immediately phoned her and told me she was just tampo and expected me to call her just a short while after the argument! So we discussed and decided she would never try tampo with me ever again....
I also took the commitment not to upset any more such a wonderful girl...
