Social Graces

I'm at the Starbucks in the Rio. This is where alot of bloggers and
press hang before and between events. I was on my laptop, and another
group was in the corner doing an interview. Well, in comes a family -
with a screaming kid. My ears were ringing from the noise, so I can't
imagine how the interviews was going. Finally, the interviewer asked
the family to respect the fact that they were trying to do an
interview. I would have done the same, in the same situation. Well,
the family (foreign tourists) exclaimed "we are just trying to have
fun on our vacation". Interesting social dilema. Even though the
interviewers were there first, they left for quiter space; leaving me
with the tourists. The tourist family seemed to delight in their
victory. I know this is a poker blog, but I was shocked by this lack
of respect for the other people. Just needed to get that off my chest
before my next event. :-)
