How Do You Show Your Customers Your Trust?

In a recent visit to Lake Placid, NY, I was taken down a winding country road to South Meadow Farm. We entered the small room attached to the barn which displayed a large variety of local food stuffs. We were tempted by shelves of maple syrup (light-, medium-, and dark-amber varieties), homemade jam, maple-based candy and other local goodies.

But what was missing was most striking.

South East Asian Images

For me, one of the fun benefits of international travel is seeing things I probably wouldn't see in the US. Here are a few that struck me on my last trip.
  • In August many Middle Eastern families visit Malaysia to escape the heat of their homelands. So many traditionally garbed women are in the hotel. I shared an elevator with a burka-clad woman with only her eyes showing standing next to a local Chinese-Malaysian teenager dressed in micro-shorts and a halter top. The extreme dress of both next to each other made an indelible image.

  • At the Malaysian airport Customs counter, a scarf-wearing, conservatively dressed woman agent was reading Vogue magazine.

  • A nearly 70-year-old Chinese-Singaporean bellman's cell phone rang while he assisted me. The ring tone shouted James Brown's "I Feel Good." When I commented on it, he called his cell from the hotel phone so he could dance to the tune for me.
