Yayy! You understand me! I thought my comment appeared a bit asshole-ish and was almost thinking of editing it.

In Liberia I perceived a different culture of complaining. You'll get an earful of excuses. Much palaver and lamentation. But in the end, we'll work something out. We might be mad now, we might laugh the issue off, but tomorrow we drink together. Or maybe not. No biggie.
