> As is typical in Georgia, she says, “Would you mind canceling your reservation at Booking? Now that we’ve talked, I’ll keep the room and send the transfer, but why pay them a commission, right?”

So glad that I do not live in a culture like that, where everybody is trying to defraud the other, even though I could care less for the profits of some faceless corporation.

Funny I read that and assumed the host was somehow scamming the author. I remember some sort of airbnb bait and switch to that effect.

It's interesting because they apparently don't find it as exhausting as I would were I placed in those circumstances. I wonder what parts of our culture they find a perverse waste of time.
