Cafe essentials: The do's and don'ts<\/p>\n
Kenny Santana, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta<\/p>\n
Do's<\/p>\n
1. Dress right: Make sure that you're wearing the dress code
\nof the cafe, whether it's casual or semiformal. Don't make
\nyourself look like an idiot when you enter the room and everyone
\nturns around to stare at you like you don't belong there.<\/p>\n
2. Cash ready: This is important. Forget to bring cash or
\ncredit cards (remember that cafe prices can be steep), and you
\nwill be in the uncomfortable situation of having to borrow
\nother's money. Even worse, your date's money.<\/p>\n
3. Call your friends: You don't like to hang out by yourself
\nright? So make sure you bring your coolest buddies, of course,
\nonly if the occasion is not a romantic date.<\/p>\n
4. Word of mouth: Before going to a new place, ask for
\nsomebody else's recommendations if you don't want regrets later
\non. Ask them if it's a cool place to be. If no one you know has
\never been there, just make sure you have a backup plan.<\/p>\n
5. Enjoy: This is what you plan when you're going to a cafe,
\nso just be yourself and try to have fun. Mingle, chat and watch
\nother people to have a good time.<\/p>\n
Don'ts<\/p>\n
1. Get drunk: Stay sane during your time in a cafe! If you
\nwant to drink yourself silly, please go to bar and pubs. There is
\nnothing more embarrassing than throw up in a cafe. Believe me!<\/p>\n
2. Make noise: People go to cafes to relax, not to be bothered
\nby your hard-to-bear guffaws, or loud voice. And don't even think
\nof making a fight in a cafe. This is real life, not a movie.<\/p>\n
3. Make out: Almost everyone knows about PDA, or public
\ndisplays of affection, but only a few can tolerate that in cafes.
\nSweet kissing will do fine, but more than that ... it's just not
\nappropriate.<\/p>\n
4. Fall asleep: This can be a very humiliating moment. In a
\nplace you are supposed to have fun at and it turns out that you
\nfell asleep. So if you are too tired, go to bed instead of cafe
\nhopping.<\/p>\n
5. Overdo it Having fun is fine, of course, but when the
\ndefinition changes into too much, it will ruin your night. Too
\nmuch meaning too much drink, too much eating, too much flirting!<\/p>",
