The people that I have seen die are mostly ready for it..they distance themselves,become introspective..most want to be awake for as long as they can to say their goodbyes and make peace with those they need to.I have never seen anyone cry but I think because they welcome the peace of death after a very long life and period of over all decline.Family memebers cry more than the dying resident.
I dont accept drinks because the intention of the sender is never quite clear.I am so glad I no longer frequent the bars.I always brought my drink on the dance floor so to avoid spiking.It is a sick world out there ,women need to protect themselves.
90% of those tourists are rich ones so yes they are as obnoxious as the snotty Europeans that come over here and look down their noses at us.Being obnoxious is not limited to our part of the world.
