I actually found them very friendly and helpful.. but I'm guessing you're not talking about Japan, right?

All ready for lots of cruising...

Yeah, Mooneyes Japan rules.
Shige-san is the man.
You should bring the bug there, and eat at the Mooneyes cafe..and cruise with the locals...you would be stoked.
