hey you didn't ask
[Music]
so those two hours we are going on one
of the last date night together because
Katie is going to study abroad yeah I'm
gonna go
um to a place where I can study Arabic
and I'll let you all guess so yeah you
can guess where she could be going
somewhere in Middle East obviously and
today we will be sharing the basic
manners and behaviors that I was missing
many Indian students are missing when
they come to America or Canada and which
is very important and people can call
you rude if you do not follow these
basic rules and etiquettes
yeah walking on the right side
yeah
it's left side
yes even Britain too yeah that was very
confusing yeah
so number one conversations in the US
but here every time
whether you didn't have whether you had
any conversation or no conversation in
the elevator you still say have a good
night have a great day did you do that
yeah I feel bad if I don't I feel like
it's kind of rude to just
elevator without acknowledging that and
without being nice I don't know why it
just is I've never taught that
explicitly it's just something everyone
does
interesting because I sometimes don't
say hi in the elevator but I have to say
have a great day yeah I agree I don't
feel like you have to say hi but you
still have to say have a good day
it's so interesting yeah
all talk culture in this country Asana
if I want to talk to anyone in the spare
time
but I can do a small talk very easily it
is considered polite to do small talk
and it's extremely easy making a video
for the concert would you like to be
part of it
your favorite song and like how where
are you from how far you travel
what's your favorite song of Taylor
Swift
from Charlotte North Carolina yeah oh
very nice and how much did you pay for
the ticket we got the one the first day
so 300 each that's really nice yeah
awesome so for example at the Taylor
Swift concert
now I can just have one short line that
is hey we are quickly making one minute
video would you have two minutes to talk
to us and that is enough to stop anyone
and talk to anyone but excuse me no one
will talk to you you're trying to sell
someone so remember you have to have one
small Quick Pitch line and you can talk
about this model I think
then I'll think you're trying to sell me
something so like I would just be like
do you know where Publix is yeah could
you tell us could you please tell me
where Publix is yeah um and then yeah
like in terms of small talk you know
just asking people how was your day it's
a great beginning even if you don't
really care like they know you don't
really care but it just shows politeness
like I guess it's kind of fake but you
should do it yeah when I used to sit in
Uber cards taxi I used to be like oh
wearing headphones and not talk to
anyone but it's good idea it's polite to
say how is your day going and then okay
I'm gonna I'm gonna work but very nice
meeting you and then that's it then you
can go back and go to work yeah I feel
bad if I'm like in a taxi and I don't
know how to talk to him you know I feel
like that's such a boring lonely time
absolutely by the way they were still

now the next habit and manage with a
change that was about recycling
composting and throwing in the trash
at least recycling these are the common
name
there is a label for compost and there
is a label for recycling and there is
for landfill but problems
but you are wrong majority of coffee
cups cannot be recycled the right thing
is to read and then to throw it
do not assume anywhere
as compared to recyclable so is
so that's important to know
next talking to a family I call my
grandmother like once or twice a day but
she calls once a month is that
considered I thought it's considered
Americans in general it obviously
depends but we just don't real feel the
need to call people every day like that
just seems so excessive to me I'm like
oh my gosh you're on the phone what new
things do you have to talk about but
even Texas once a week or less than that
right
a little more than that but yeah because
like like we have always things to talk
about every day like what did you eat
what what did you have for lunch and
then what show you watched what's
happening with that show with family I
mean that's nice but I just feel like
that's not very interesting oh like I
don't really care about my dad eats for
lunch so I don't know
we are here today in a Spanish
restaurant right yeah
yeah like Spain not Mexican Spanish nice
[Music]
so this is a Spanish restaurant and
these are tapas so
Tapas are basically starters India my
status quo appetizers
starters or appetizers will be equal to
one meal so sir what would you like to
eat
so I would like to have uh patatas that
is potatoes and baby carrots and uh
antique which shows that's it and that's
how I used to order but now the right
way is can you teach me what would you
like to order I would please
short rib and
sure thank you so much so basically even
if I say can I have it it's considered
rude you always have to say can I please
have potatoes can I please have baby
carrot salad every time and it's it's
considered rude otherwise because
in the tonality there is please
subconsciously
but you always have to say can I please
have all the time
paid
okay so you're saying that you call them
G so that shows respect like that's
enough to show everybody that has okay
yeah g is all to respect but the whole
world has respect
so it's the same in English that because
we have please and you have day DJ but
it's it's an extra word in English
oh but it's like part of the yeah
so that's tricky oh food is here so
thank you again I think it's the short
rib and the goat cheese salad
yeah so this is steak beef yeah beef
okay
no it's okay you can keep it then okay
so they just served and thank you again
so the food is here the first thing
again you have to say thank you to the
waiter and then
right yeah
and this cannot ever touch the table so
this is part of it you can touch the
napkin though yeah of course the napkins
though but not tables yeah the table's
not clean thank you so much
yeah so this is salmon very rich in
Vitamin D my favorite it's a huge
quantity
good it's a lot yeah so is this
which salad is this a carrot oh
[Music]
hey you didn't ask oh sorry wait can I
please try your salad yes you can yeah
thank you
so yeah even even with your friends you
have to ask Sometimes some casually
chips but it's always mandatory to ask
before even you take a one Chips bite
your favorite slice of cake even if it
is your significant others
too but I like
I like yeah now after the food Indiana
you have to say bill please or in
Spanish
so you have to have to say that
yeah
now time for biggest behaviors while
driving so let's say that someone is
crossing the road right but green
lighter you want to give that person
away so you can actually do Dippers your
front lights up there that means you're
giving that person way to enter in your
lane
that means
that's what that's a completely
different meaning here and that's a
polite way
you have to say thank you by raising
your hand thank you this is the gesture
of saying thank you again
just say thank you by giving a hand up
oh yeah if you give the horn then that
means like you're mad at them yeah like
don't get the horn to thank them that's
like wrong message yes and people don't
even do the full horn people just do
like this
like like very slight on yeah just to
just to tell you yeah let's move on it's
a very very polite subtle horn India may
like people go three seconds
hey
so palatna is very important every time
you close the door palette many people
on Reddit have reported key Indians
and waiting for someone to let them in
minutes they wait for them and then let
them in and it is it is not very
difficult
you get used to it but sarkari banks
no one ever thinks about looking back
can you guess also how much tip we gave
you might be thinking 18 20 or 25 but
the right answer is you cannot even
guess because tips
many Indians don't give tips sometimes
Indian restaurants automatically 18
percent and there are rules that if for
more than four people so 18 percent
automatically consumers said they tipped
more than 21 on average but there is a
catch there are some systems
in those systems sometimes 18 is already
added when I go to some Indian
restaurants some Mexican restaurants
you for tip and the minimum option is
again 18 20 25. so if you choose that
then Pele up 18 there already included
and then 18 again so it becomes it's
almost 36 and it has happened many times
I asked for receipt I always check the
restaurant restaurant
so that's why according to CNBC report
you have to be careful when you're
giving Deb because now 80 of Americans
are giving tip and around 30 are over
giving the tips so be careful in giving
tips as well
