My wife always laughs at me because apparently I'm always wai-ing at the wrong people and then not wai-ing at the correct ones!...it can be a minefield but with every faux pas I'm learning.

Hi Kraka's Dad, I've been told its daft to wai your youngers and subordinates(whoever they are!)
...is that why nobody ever wai's me?...

Randy, anyone who is an admirer of the mighty 'Crue' is a friend of mine!

...or any loud nasty rock n' roll for that matter!

Wai-ing

I learnt a long time ago - the higher the Wai - the greater the respect.

In my past life here working on a project with SRT, I used to travel around quite a bit with one of the Deputy Governors. As such he used to get the utmost respect and everyone Wai'd to the hilt. He was almost dismissive.

Until one day I saw hime return a Wai to an old local Railway engineer who was way down the pecking order compared to him.

When I enquired later on as to the degree of respect shown to such a lowly subordinate, the answer I got was - simple, that guy taught me almost everything I know!

So there is a message here somehow eh?
