When you're very shy and you go to a foreign-speaking country for the weekend and you get there and there are no taxis to be found, you read your guidebook and you discover you have arrived on a non-working public holiday and there will be no taxis, so you walk two miles to your hotel.
And then you steel yourself to go out and have dinner alone and you position yourself in the corner where you won't draw any attention and just blend in and you order what you think is steak and mushrooms and they bring it to your table and then two chefs show up and flambe it and there are flames shooting up and everyone is staring and you have not blended at all.
Don't do it like that.
