When I'm not on a business trip I sometimes tend to use more familiar
language. :-) I inquired because I know that Japan is rather strict on
ettiquette. It wouldn't be good to go there and try to sell something
and then insult them or something. I didn't have that problem with
Marco, the lucky b* that's spending his time in the most northern part
in the world where there's grass growing.
Of course, if he would invite me to Svalbard, I wouldn't say such things
in his face :-)
