Saying Hello is important but a proper Hello is more important.And soho does not show respect to the elders/seniors because I noticed he's new to this forum (less than 10 postings) and he's rude to our old timers (higher number of postings)... naughty boy!The thing I don't like about Western culture is they seem friendly to u but actually they are keeping a close watch over their comfort zone, very secretive. They get offensive like how our new member has demonstrated early, regardless of who approach them. Looks like their parents fail to pass down to them some great Asian culture.. sad!</blockquote>
