That's a very interesting tidbit of info on the Southeast Asian country cultures. I guess I saw some of that in Japan when Kato-san invited us to his dinner party the night before the Nogyosai Show. It was a true "who's who" of breeders and they seated us with a table of High ranking officials from ZNA Organizations from Malaysia, Taiwan and Indonesia.They were very classy gentlemen and treated us with a high level of respect. I enjoyed that party more than most of the other things we've done on recent trips. Kato-san is a very gracious host but I can only imagine what that party must have cost him.
