Advice for returning to America from my teammates

  1. Do not chew with your mouth open. Do not make smacking noises with your lips. Do not slurp your soup.
  2. Do no spit food (bones, fat, other inedible objects) directly onto the table.
  3. It is not considered normal to spit on the side of the road (or the middle of the sidewalk)
  4. You can't wear the same outfit everyday. You can't even wear the same outfit every other day. Wait at least 2 days before wearing the same outfit because then you at least give the appearance of it being washed.
  5. It is not considered normal or appropriate to walk down the street holding your friends hand.
  6. If you talk about the people around you there is a 99% chance that they will understand you.
  7. It is not considered polite to yell for the waiter at a restaurant.
  8. Hacking is not appropriate in any circumstance. 
  9. Flushing toilet paper is totally expected and even encouraged.
  10. Drinking water out of the faucet will not kill you, it will not even make you a little bit sick.
more to come...
