Ma'm may I please have the chopsticks back !
OMG so besides the police lining the roads , the women at the shops standing on top of you 1 per customer , dinner played out like an episode of Fawlty Towers !
First my co traveler knocked over a metal vase and broke my glass spilling the water from the vase. The staff watched me as if I had done it . I had a set of plastic chopsticks in paper for dinner . They were kind of nice so thinking they would be thrown away I decided to keep them. When they came to clear my plate they asked for the chopsticks . I said I would like to keep them to use later and put them in my purse . Throughout the meal I could feel the waiter watching me . I kept waiting for an arm to snake by me towards my purse while I was eating . Meanwhile every time a co traveler tried to put wine for us someone would run over and make a big presentation out of wrapping a napkin around the bottle and then pouring for us- it was like a race to grab the bottle and pour before the waiter . This went on for an hour and finally after the meal the kid came up and said ma'm , may I have the chopsticks back ?
Absolutely dumbfounded I asked do you use them over and he said yes ! I said we'll why the hell didn't you say so. ? You mean someone else ate off these before me?
I figure next time I won't be given any and I will probably see a bill for the broken glass too .
I don't feel too bad though since someone else in our group went to the pool and got in trouble for trying to wear his pool towel back to his room so he didn't drip all over !
We must be the bad kids on the block - bloody Americans
