Xpat Review: Placido Domingo In Budapest
- 18 Aug 2016 1:00 AM
- community & culture
I was brought up to respect my elders. It was drilled into me from the minute I was old enough to talk. Over the years, it’s been difficult at times, given that some of the elders who crossed my path were complete plonkers, devoid of reason, and lacking any semblance of a moral code. So I made an allowance. I reinterpreted the edict to read: Respect the elders you don’t know; apply discretion to ...

- 1 Jul 2016 9:00 AM
