“Would you like a banana?” I asked Yulya.
“Yes,” she smiled,but made no attempt to take any of the three bananas in the fruit basket.“What now?” I thought.
“Which one would you like?” I asked.
“That one,” she pointed at one of the bananas.So all the while thinking about Russian politeness,I picked the banana Yulya had pointed at and peeled it half way and handed it to her.Smiles in Yulya and Nicoli's faces told me I had done the right thing.After this experience I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia,the polite thing is to peel the bananas for the ladies.Sometime during my third trip I was politely disabused(纠正).
“Oh no,Grigorii Davidovich,” a Russian graciously corrected me.“In Russia,when a man peels a banana for a lady,it means he has a romantic interest in her.” How embarrassed I felt!
