Common mistakes Some times, people try to hard to be respectful. just be yourself. Sort of. Never go way out of your way to help, if you try to hard, you will mess up and hurt your own cause.

Basic help If you see someone walking behind you, hold the door. Ladies first, you won’t lose your group if you wait a minute just jog to catch back up to them after. If you are given money, they won’t let you give it back, so tell them “it’s to much,” I can’t take this” and after a few tries, give up and take the money. They will think you a better and nicer person.

Effort [not family advice] No matter what you do, you will either look like your trying to hard, or not hard enough. What you have to do is not show off, or get lazy.

ALWAYS WORK AT A COMFORTABLE PACE! you can never tell how long something is going to take, so work at a pace that won’t tire you out.
