Sorry for not writing much as of late!!! We have had busy days and nights with lots of stuff happening. Thanks to those of you who faithfully check in. For all of you, here is an experience that is one of my (Mike's) strangest yet in a new culture:
I was at the bank one day waiting for a friend....no big deal. While there, I watched the bank security guard greet another man who he obviously knew...no big deal. As they talked, the guard opened up his desk drawer and the man pulled out a bottle of cologne....no big deal. They joked, laughed and smiled...no big deal. Then, as the security guard took the bottle of cologne back, he started spraying the other man with cologne!! He was not joking around or playing a trick on his friend: the man was quite pleased as he raised his arms, sprayed his hands and wiped it on his face and neck...no big deal?!?!?!?!? Weigh in with your opinion................

Maybe the security guard was interviewing for a job as a mall "perfume girl". :) I have seen stranger things but usually the sprayee is running away from the sprayor. :) Hope all are well. Love LaDonna
Hmmmmmmmm....odd.
1. This sounds like a really bad "Old Spice" commercial.
2. If this is a custom, (and people seem to like to give you things there) you should hope to not to run into too many friends in one day or you could become quite pungent.
3. Do you think it is customary to ask for a spray of the cologne or should you wait to be offered--like a mint or gum or something?
