Re: Have you been here?
I went to a seminar in the 1980s hosted by a local school -- we were all lined up as usual and prepared to bow to the visiting teacher. Nothing unusual there. When I bow it is my habit that I always look at the person I am bowing towards. Well, someone shouted "Rei" and everyone bowed instantly, except for the teacher, and me. I was just waiting for him to bow so I could match it, but none was forthcoming. We looked at each other and nothing was ever said. As I remember, it was a good seminar. I have never had that experience -- where you bow to someone who does not bow back -- anywhere else, which is why I remember it.
