Rules to surviving Europe.

1. Dress for fashion, not practicality, if there are not tears running down your face while you walk in those shoes, they'll sniff you out like bloodhounds.
2. Never say anything against another country, there will be a smack down. Never say anything in defense of the states, there will be a smack down.
3. If you are french, it's okay to speak french once in a while, if you are Chinese, it's okay to speak Chinese once in a while, if you are an American, if you speak English once in a while, people will think it's because you're incompetent.
4. Don't be a creature of habit, habits make it easier to be stalked.
5. Learn the signs that tell you whether your water has poisonous carbonation in it (ohne Kohlensaeure).
6. Sometimes, nodding your head as if you understand is a bad idea, because that old woman just asked you to be her volunteer servant for the rest of your days (We've all read the Grimms fairy tales, smart up).
7. Don't feel bad about looking in people's windows, other people do it too.
8. Only correct somebody if they asked to be corrected.
9. Keep on the lookout for numerous types of animals including: HEDGEHOGS! (auf Deutsch Igel)
10. Showing up at a friend's apartment is generally not rude, and sometimes the only way you can become friends with the night owls.
