But can you not accept a culture for what it is and that it is different to yours.
I rather honesty than politeness. Why say sorry when you are not (do you think the officer was in any way sorry). Why say please when you are not. I'm more likely to be offended by non-genuineness and lies.
Sawadee-kah is Thai culture. I've been there. It's nice. But that is their culture. What if it is not Caribbean culture, then just acccept it.
What's the point of travelling if all you do is compare one place to another and expect all cultures to be the same . . . to suit you.
I've been to many places where saying please wasn't the norm (scandinavia for one). I just got on with it. Noted the uniqueness and accepted it.
Give the people a break man! I'm glad you survived despite having to adapt ever so slightly.
Would you even be saying these things about a developed country? Or is it only the developing workd that you expect to sway to your needs and fancies.
Smiling faces saying, "Yes massa!" or "No sir!"
That's nice but I prefer genuine people!
