If you want something...you have to get it for yourself
Ignore lines, push your way to the front and make yourself heard
always dress to impress
everything can be said with hand gestures to match
bread is essential to every meal....its even a meal itself
having tea is as good as having a conversation
there is never a bad time to take a nap
walk slowly and leisurely
friendliness is next to godliness
If you offer something and the person declines, it is only because they did not hear you...keep offering until they accept
language barrier means nothing...keep talking...the person will eventually understand you
hospitality is a way of living
use evidence to make an arguement, evidence itself is not an arguement
your actual name is irrelevant as is what you prefer to be called, terms of endearment and elaborate versions of your name are all viable options even if i dont know you that well
Galatasaray is the best football team!
after initial introduction is it quite okay to ask very invasive, probing, provocative questions about your life, relationships, morals, religion, bodily functions, politics, etc.
personal space is optional
men being transfixed to the tv when the game is on is a global problem...not an American one
When someone says you are their friend, they really mean it...as in they will call you, bring you medicine when you are sick, remember your birthday, invite you to their home, make sure you have food, let you borrow whatever you want, take you to see the beautiful places unknown to tourists....unlike America
When you see an english speaker walk past it is always best to speak whatever english words you know to try and get their attention...from "Hello" to "Kobe Bryant" it doesn't matter the words...just use them (side note...english speakers of the female variety will almost always not respond to this enticement)
MOST IMPORTANT (this one is for Sara): Do not speak in English about certain male features and assume that the male you are speaking about does not understand you...chances are stacked against you that if you are talking about him in english...he speaks/understands english...(especially if the book he is reading is in english)
thats all for now...more certainly to come!

haha, I just agree with you in every point :) And don't forget that you have to let other people know the names of your parents to get an important document... and to bring at least 4 photos with you ;)
