Nice post... wouldn't fit my description of GOOD though. I think there was a bit..hmm... on second thoughts quite alot of exaggeration on the CREDIT CARD part. Like two years back in Nepal, I remember shopping at department stores like Bath Bhateini, Kasthamandap, Blue Bird etc. with my father and he posessed credit cards, I cannot remember a single incident where they made a big fuss about him having a Visa or a Mastercard! Nor can I remember him receiving any royal treatment like wiping his card "with a piece of eyeglasses cleaning cloth." I don't know maybe it was just a different era back then! Wow! I fancy you having all those royal treatments back there! Take it easy!
