About paying the bill, there was one incident in Denny's(America) Papa, Tito Vic and achi Caren "fought" for it.Papa, dichi, and I had our summer vacation there in Lancaster(Tito Vic's place.
Papa won't let achi Caren pay because she was just a visitor, well in fact we were also visitors, but in Tito Vic's case papa has no reason, he just wants to pay the bill..hehe!
