In my home country of Croatia, for instance, it is completely normal to ask someone for their seat. If the person doing the asking is older, it's almost a given that the person being asked will give up the seat without much thinking or comments.
I wonder now: can a few thousand miles make such difference in personal interaction?
Can access it through Google though.
