Wait & Watch

IF you are not sure about something and don't want to get caught in any embarracing situation then simple formula to apply is wait & Watch. I am doing this from last two weeks, from day my journey to US started, and trust me it works :)
Right from what to do after entering in internation airport, where to go what to do just be observative --> wait and watch. In flight there were many things i just followed by seeing other people. How to open cabin drawer, how to see TV provided to you. How to switch Off light on your top, how to eat food provided to you, how to fill I94, where to go for immigration. where to go for security check in. All Do's and don'ts
In office or in apartment also there are many things different than India. I was not getting where and how to drink water. there was a funny tab for drinking water and you don't need glass to drink water from it. I saw my colleague drinking water from it and got how to drink. Then slowly I discovered how these people prepare tea or coffee.
My Client arranged for a Welcome lunch for me. We went to a Mexican Hotel. I am still wondering though it's very cold here why people drink water from glass with full of Ice. So I didn't had option to order food what others are ordering as except one all were Non Vegetarian people, So I asked waitress which is Veg food available. Among two options I cleared her that by Veg I mean No egg, no meat, no fish. She said yes those two choices serves as my food. So i ordered one of them. After some time she came up with one plate with some sabji kinda thing then one bowl with salad. There were some Hot pots with our Rumai roti kind of thing. one bowl with kind of coffee beans, i was not sure how to eat all that .... so again simple formula- Wait and watch, I kept drinking iced water for two Min's, then few other ppl also got same kind of setup. they took rumai roti then spread sabji in it added some salad, some of those beans then rolled it and started eating, so i knew how to eat that and followed same :). There are many such things which i am learning with this funda.
