I am a smoker but I find it ok if they increase taxes on the tobacco. They should make it also on the alcohol.
That would maybe serve to finance something more useful...

Funny, I just watched "Slumdog Millionaire"...

Hello,

I think that the problem we meet often is this:

We go to ask something and expect a specific answer (because a friend said it's like this or because last year it was like that). So when our interlocutor is talking, we don't really listen to him (her) because we are fixed on the answer we expect. And then, or we hear the answer we want hear and we accept it or we hear it different and it makes us a bit upset. Then we ask again and again and it makes our interlocutor loses patience and it starts to be a dialogue of the deaf.

And in case of conflict, the loser is always the one who needs something, not the one who has to give it.

When I read here about visa, I read many different ways to get it, depending of the city where we live. So when I need a visa renewal or anything else, I go a few days before to the official and ask what exactly I need. I know, I have to queue 2 times, but it helps me to have all documents ready and to not feel upset if I miss some.
