I experienced the hostess club scene in Tokyo. As a Texan, I felt it my duty to teach one hostess who had only a little English that the correct way to greet those of my nationality is with a big loud smiling "Howdy, Howdy, Howdy!" The Japanese who took me there thought it was a great idea, until I taught all the office girls and the factory girls to greet me the same way. "Howdy, Howdy, Howdy!" All day long, everywhere I went in the company.

Have you had any foreigners exchange niceties of their homelands' greeting styles with you, similar to my experience in Japan?

I am opening a hotel in South Texas and find the regulatory environment even in this business friendly state to be rather burdensome.

What was required to get your business off the ground, other than a roof, walls, floors, and running water?
