Unlike the Burmese man at the Mandalay hotel, Mr. Bernard was warm and kind to Theroux. Accustomed to serving people, especially from Western nations, Mr. Bernard went out of his way to ensure that Theroux was comfortable, offering a hot bath and a good meal. Theroux ended up feeling like a "lazy vulgar sybarite."
