Almost a month in, a favorite topic of conversation is still the cultural faux pas we’ve committed:
Attempting to barter unsuccessfully for a set-price newspaper
Letting someone else help wash clothes that included my pants
Calling them underwear instead of pants
Wearing short shorts across the courtyard (in my defense the 6 year old wasn’t wearing anything at the time)
Wearing thin-strapped flip-flops (slippers) outside of the home
Drinking/eating while walking
Calling for the taxi to stop too close to an intersection
Talking about the bathroom and related bodily functions
Talking while using the bathroom
Crossing legs at the knees, not the ankles
Mispronouncing the word for water
Turning down/deferring offers for food and juice
Using morning and afternoon greetings at awkward times
