When in America...

  • Don't order "large" at any fastfood joints. I mistook the "container" they handed me for coca cola to be a jug. You could do the same.
  • If you wear a large sized tee shirt (outside America), buy a medium or a small.
  • Gawk at the massive skyscrapers. Aren't they great?
  • Don't gawk at the massive people. Unless you want to get beaten up.
  • Smile at people. They smile back.
  • Don't plug in your electrical appliances unless they run on 110V. If you smell burning plastic, run!
  • Try and take food into flights. They don't serve meal on flights most of the time. No, I'm NOT talking about the budget carriers.
  • If they tell you your flight is a direct flight, don't believe them. It will probably stop on the way somewhere.
  • Don't cross the street unless the walk sign is on. They could arrest you for that! See Jaywalking.
  • Figure out their damn money. All the notes are the same size and same color. Only the pictures on them are different. A dime is 10 cents and a quarter is 25 cents. The numerical value of these coins isn't mentioned on the coins.
