one of my group members has proven himself to be a true gentleman. (i really wonder how his parents taught him to be so, i want to know...) while walking towards a door, i was walking in front. as we approached, i hastened to open the door for both of us. BUT


he ran (so that he'll reach the door faster than i did) in front of me, so that he was the one who held the door open for both of us. what is the moral of the story?

"A man should never let a woman open the door for herself."

(prior to this, after a separate group meeting, we offered to carry my laptop for me. that not only lessens my load, but also frees my hands of anything. and he waited with me for the shuttle bus, eventhough he can just walk back to his hall.)
what do we learn from this?

manners transcends culture and race, if you ain't got it, you just ain't.....well, you just don't have manners.
