They simply are different from us (I'm Dutch  ).
The British .......yes, they have a good tradition regarding saying "thank you, please, you're welcome ....( and "are you being served sir "  )".
Good examples of sometimes even an over polite behaviour.
The "famous" British hooligans don't practise that however  .
I don't judge those countries on not saying these words.
Why should I ? Do they have to be the same as we are ?
As long as they don't harm me or get me furious, I'm fine with them. |
Hello Jelly, thank you for your observation...I totally agree.
Filipinos are by nature, not much on words. By this, I mean that they are more on body language, tone of voice and facial expressions which is embedded in their culture so it is normal behaviour for them. Surely not normal behaviour for someone with totally different culture.
