1. Meshing
with your hosts: at all times show courtesy to your hosts
2. Appreciating
and finding what you can do: After studying your environment get something to
do in order to earn respect, money and continued positive regard.
3. The
kitchen practices: Wash utensils, prepare meals for all, store food that is not
warm in the fridge. Clean kitchen area at any opportunity. Use the food wrapper
sparingly if you are to use microwave as this avoids heated food spilling all
over the insides of the microwave.
4. The
bath/wash-room practices: use the bath/wash-room knowing that others will also
use it and after clean it. In case you are using a public laundry ensure you
have coins ready as most machines do take coins. WAIT UNTIL YOUR CLOTHES ARE READY AND THEN PICK THEM TO LEAVE
ROOM FOR OTHERS.
5. Throwing
away garbage/waste: Garbage or waste is thrown in baskets with polythene-bag
insertions which once full up are tied up at the rim and carried to kips/bins.
6. Sharing
the doors, alleys and lifts: Hold door for others until they have passed
through once you are the first to open the door. Walk on the right to leave the
left side for those approaching you.
7. Road
discipline/Transport means: Follow all road use instructions to avoid
penalties.
8. Meeting
other Americans: America has a multitude of races and people from different
countries. Learn something through meeting them or making friends.
9. Working
in the American society: Arrive earlier at work, keep on the job and sign out
appropriately.
10. Sharing your dollars with the
team: You may be staying in a place with others. If the arrangement is
cash-pooling adhere to it.
