       I’ve noticed one feature in the behavior of Europeans: intolerance to violations and the corresponding attitude towards people.

       In the morning the girl from the reception desk at the hotel smiled and you gently rubbed your baby’s cheek. But then you were late with the check-out and that’s it. The same girl does not …
