My philosophy is: always ask. It is better to ask than to rely on other people’s point of view because even within cultures there are variations. Be respectful when asking that you want to know so as not to offend, and that you respect them and their culture and want to learn.

@Luckylu @dominateofyou Yes true. This has worked but imagine everything they do is new and some of my behaviors come as rude to them. I'm walking on thin ice here
