Gekkosan replied to the thread Surprised at our test results poncho vs jacket.Takes a bit or wriggling and looking thoroughly undignified to the outside world, but so what? You’ll never see most of those people ever again. 🙂 I got memorably stuck trying to exit a busy restaurant in the middle of a downpour. Some kind... -
Gekkosan replied to the thread Surprised at our test results poncho vs jacket.I note that a significant people are partial to using an umbrella, so obviously there is some merit to the idea.

Usually after I've had breakfast I like to make the simple gesture of returning glasses – I'm usually thanked by waiting staff who didn't expect it. Actually, I find joy in lending a hand wherever I can. If a stack of dishes catches my eye...

Gekkosan replied to the thread Bar etiquette.I noticed a number of small bars and cafés that were run by one or two evidently overworked/understaffed persons. In those establishments I always made sure to pick up my stuff and leave my table clean. I invariably got a “gracias” from the...
