I was born in asian community and has western education now i am back to live in Asia.
What i learn from Asian people is that greeting(manners) is very important. It just like part of your life but from the caucasian point of view, no greeting is still acceptable. For instance. some country like people to call everyone by their own name.. john..george + darling, honey or dear but in Asia you must use sir,madam and no honey,darling with their name because that's is not a kind of etiquette that they want you to learn.
How about you? Any similar incident?

When in Rome do as the Romans do. In other words abide by the culture. It's their house.

I am European and in European culture to call stranger "honey" or "darling" is unacceptable also. US only lower class uses expressions like "honey" etc

We are taught to say mam or sir. If they have a title we are to use their title
