[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 547181, member: 14557"] It depends from comparison point :winking: In our culture it is polite to give people space. To anyone from other cultures we are probably coming off as very rude and uncaring. If someone for example falls, we just pretend we didn't notice and only help after asked (or if person is in the shape they can't ask.) After asking we are very helpful, but to offer help would be considered almost humiliating for the one who fell (after all that would mean that someone noticed! How embarrassing!):bigsmile: Doner kebab is Turkish traditional way to cook meat by roasting it in vertical spit. Very similar to Greek gyro, if you are more used to that (there are some differences but similar.) Fast food doner kebab of course has about as much common with Turkish tradition as KFC extra crispy chicken breasts have with actual chicken breasts. In kebab meat itself is not bad, but the sides tend to make it very high fat, high energy, not good for you. Well, that kind of works if person eating it is closer to 6 and half feet tall pro athlete with high energy consuming sport :bigsmile: That certainly makes a difference. My commute is 20 minutes (with car) and husband less than ten. I often use bicycle during summer months (40 minutes), husband walks if he doesn't need car during the day. difficult child in fact gets faster to work by bicycle than by car (traffic lights and possibility to bike through the park.)
