I guess that's what they are talking about.


I personally think knowledge is 80 % of class... knowledge of how to talk / treat people. About having class by spending a lot of money in a restaurent ... well in mtl there is 2 italian restorants who's cuisines are the same ... one charge 25-30 $ per plate, other charge 8-10. Same shit.

Class is an illusion to a lot of people.

What do you think of activities that determine your class tho? From what I have been reading, high-class and being cultured :

Going to museums
Being knowledgeable about art
Going to opera/theater
Going on wine tastings
Having intellectual pursuits

Low Class:

Flaunting too much logos/designers, being "newly rich"
Talking loudly, bad manners
Bad etiquette, not knowing which fork to use
Not being cultured/refined

I always wondered who those NY society people that I read about? How did they get to be high society? Mostly they are rich but connections too I guess...
