this morning...

I witnessed something that ruffled my feathers a bit. i was downstairs eating breakfast, and this dutch woman came in and starting bossing the waiters around telling them to get her this and move this and such... then when it came time to order, one of the newer waiters came to take her order and she shooed him away and asked for the better of the two.... i felt so bad for him!  =[ and while ordering she had said 'i would like my toast cooked well this time please' and had this very tough personalized order.. when he hands us the menu there is option one with a list of its contents and option two with a list of its contents. now why would you come to a country and not eat their food the way they prepare it? AND be incredibly rude to our hosts? the way i see it is if you are not willing to experience the entirety of your travels, why go? she just acted like she owned the place and not like a guest. maybe i am just weird.

'Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.'
