One of the first thing which I remarked when I arrived to Belgium was people behaviour. It's very important for me and I admit that I pay special attention on this (especially when I'm abroad). Yesterday happened something unexpected. My friend and I went to railway station because I wanted to help her with buying a ticket. When we asked for the ticket to airport in Charleroi, we forgot mention that it's the ticket for next day. Only when we got the new printed ticked, we saw our mistake. I was ashamed because I expected that the lady in the counter would be angry as well as people who were behind us. At once I started to apologize her but she wasn't angry or irritated. She took back the wrong ticket and gave us the right one. People behind us were also relaxed.
Here in Belgium people are more tolerant. In Poland, in this situation, there would be complaints from the saleswoman and others passengers. Sometimes you can even hear something unpleasant. So it's nice when people are cool and aren't angry when you do some mistake.
