Dear Lukas,
WHAT? O_O They don't? Isn't that a little disrespectful..? In my country
respect is very important and when talking it's really common to use
honorifics like Mr. or Ms. when talking to someone you don't know very well.
Ah... I know how that feels. I met a person from America who thought I was a
part of Ate India or Kuya China (even if I'm located pretty far from them).
But the worst was probably when I chatted with another person who thought I
was part of Latin America. That's not even in the same continent anymore! DX
Oh! I texted him just recently. He said he was doing better but was still
recovering. He also says not to worry anymore. It's great he's dong better now
Sincerely,
Maria

P.S. You what? Is he alright? Why did you throw a coconut at him? That wasn't
very nice...I wonder if I should still send you this pie I made..?
Maria.
To others it might sound disrespektful. But it isn't to my people. They are used to it after all. They used last names and honorifics before, but it became too troublesome so they dropped it. The only places you will find things like Mr. and Ms. written these days, is on certain flight tickets and the likes. They use the first name when talking to someone we don't know well too. Many who come visit me is shocked by it, but you get used to it fast enough.
That's good. I haven't had the chance to visit him yet.
Norge, Lukas.
P.S: He is fine. He has a thick head. What kind of pie is it?
