Exactly treat all with respect and 99 times out of a 100 they will return it.Originally Posted by aromulus
Several times....
Especially by Jets neighboors, as they didn't know my name, or remember it.
But I always took the trouble of correcting them nicely and try a couple of words of their language on them for a giggle, as ignoring them could have caused criticism to our family.
In fact in the wifes locally area most of the neighbours don't say anything when we see one another as they are shy it seems so i smile and greet them nearly all will reply and some once the ice is broken come over for a basic chat in taglish.
Like you say we pop in and out of the country and can easily forget these are the people our families live with everyday.
Like others say the way some non phills who are a mixture of perverted, women disrespecting racists treat the local phills makes me angry.
The amount of times mainly yanks but im sure many from various western nations are the same, just yanks are more outgoing in genral. Have talked disrespectifully about the women they are with and women in genral. Expecting you to be the same
One time we were in a posh designer menswear shop in gloriaetta and a brit guy was in the shop being served before me only a young guy and he was so rude i went out of my way to aplogize and treat the assitants with the utmost respect they said they were used to it from both the westerners and rich locals
