The American Curriculum ( Khan Academy)
While keeping your outdoor shoes on when you go
inside may not raise any eyebrows in the United
States, it may offend your host if you're traveling
abroad.
In countries like Germany, Austria, Russia,
Ukraine, Poland, Japan, Turkey, Israel, and other
parts of the Middle East and Asia, wearing your
shoes inside is not only considered poor manners,
but unhygienic, as well.
In most of America, raising your first and pinky
finger to emulate a bull's horns is generally
accepted to mean "rock on," and is commonly
displayed by concert attendees.

expected at pretty much every bar and non-self-
serve restaurant in the United States. However,

Parents in the United States may be famous for
encouraging their children to become members
of the clean plate club, but overseas, there's an
even stronger cultural imperative to finish one's meal.
In India and Japan, for instance, not eating
everything on your plate is not only considered
wasteful, but an indication that you didn't enjoy
what was served.
While listening to someone blow their nose isn't
exactly a pleasure anywhere in the world, it likely
won't have people giving you the side-
eye stateside.
Crossing your fingers in the United States usually
means one thing: you're wishing for good luck.
Arriving exactly on the dot to a social gathering in
the United States might just be a stranger to your
host than dropping by an hour after the festivities
begin.
