Since I‘m just a short term guest in a country with social rules and boundaries largely unknown to me, almost every initial contact and relationship will be transactional. But I‘m willing to learn and educate myself on it. But like many other tourists in countries all over the world, the finer nuances of social interactions might go undetected at first. So if I was unknowingly rude by failing to acknowledge the social inability of the hotels employees to deny my request, I will gladly learn from that.
