A few years back I was in a bar on the top floor of a hotel in Qatar, a few colleagues were with me. One was a Dutch guy.
He asked a girl (air hostess from the Phillipenes (?) if she wanted a drink.
She ordered a coctail.
He said, without blinking or showing any sign of embarassement, "that's kinda expensive, can't you order a beer or something??"
We laughed for the rest of the night with him, he did not understand why and was not amused....
And that's a true story!
