FFS, children, I can't leave you alone for a few days!
Having lived in somebody else's country (not a holiday), we bent over backwards to NOT force our ways, our culture, our religious views on the host country and nor did we expect them to bend over backwards (upsetting the natives) to accommodate us in anyway.
We made every attempt to listen, observe and learn the ways of the locals, including learning the language and didn't expect government documents to be printed in 16 different languages.
This was well before Google translate and before the widespread use of the internet.
So, go to your rooms (with, or with cocoa) - as for Ginger Nuts, I don't think she has any............
