I will approach a beggar and a millionaire, a representative of different nationalities, with the same respect, until we start talking.
I do the same. So much so that out of a strange turn of events, I know the current president of Finland a little. When he was a minister we were talking properly for the first time and he said, "I like talking to you Taraz, you treat me like a normal person". :D
You know how to surprise!
