Hillary,
In answer to Antoinette who was unsure of when to ‘wai’ – I only wai when I am wai’ed to and then only if the person is of similar standing and generally shows me respect. Very few of these around, so wai’s from me are very few and rare.

Dear JCB,
Thank you for that, and you are correct that respect should be shown. However, when I receive a wai I do generally return it, unless it is at the checkout at the supermarket.
