I don't think people are helpful; it's their nature, but I still don't like it. I mean, some people are, but this guy just wanted us to hurry up because he was next in line. He tried to cut in front of us. As for the tram, we usually don't ride, I don't carry a purse, and Wiley keeps his wallet in his inside jacket pocket. Everyone has warned us about the pickpockets, so we're very careful.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05321872473726824271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205581168145731191.post-82587780946793466722007-12-28T11:37:00.000-05:002007-12-28T11:37:00.000-05:00It's their culture,get used to it.Actually daily s...It's their culture,get used to it.Actually daily showers may not be part of their culture, so it's hard to scare anyone by smell. When I was growing up we only had cold water and no shower at all.There is no personal space there. Maybe if you say something in English it may scare them off.On the other hand if they are helpful it may not be so bad. But watch out for pick-pockets and people like that, especially on the crowded public transportation. I still don't put my wallet in my back pocket. :-)kcmeeshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640259113083899984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205581168145731191.post-40557013368836386502007-12-27T08:50:00.000-05:002007-12-27T08:50:00.000-05:00I'll give it a shot the next time I want to deal w...I'll give it a shot the next time I want to deal with bureaucrats. Now tell me how to get people to stop hanging over my shoulder in line.
