Margo, I agree...it really makes a difference when people respect, enjoy and strive to learn the customs of the different countries...not to get off topic here, but I have heard it mentioned on other threads about how good LCT-ers are about this. Someone (Ray maybe) mentioned how much they enjoyed the way their fellow travellers treated those who served them in some way on their travels. I have noticed it on my cruises with LCT people too.

Now back to topic...the hippies really set themselves apart from MOJO and the frat boys in that respect..they latter 2 couples act like a bunch of spoiled brats who really could care less about anyone they encounter on their travels...I like it when the hippies thank people for the wonderful experiences they have provided them with, such as the sky diving or whatever....
